Archeabacteria (archea meaning old), was among the first life to live on the earth during it's formation. When the earth was formed, it was covered in molten lava and barely had an atmosphere. The archeabacteria lived in this hostile environment and developed chemosynthesis which allowed it to product food from the chemicals (sulfur, iron, etc.) from the molten rock surrounding it. When the earth cooled down, archeabacteria began to evolve and created bacteria, however some archeabacteria still exist in this world and stays in it's natural environment, the hostile, very hot environments which first created it. Also, they still use chemosynthesis and it may be possible that they require the hostile environments to survive due to the sulfur and iron that is plentiful in those areas.
Many of them do in environments such as salt lakes, volcanic vents and hot springs for example
chemoautotrophs live in very harsh environments.

Chlamydia is a eubacteria. Most bacteria are eubacteria unless the bacteria live in extreme environments.

In extreme environments
a characteristic of archaebacteria are that they live in environments without oxygen
Eubacteria live in extreme environments. archaebacteria live everywhere else.

Certain kind of archaebacteria, called halophiles can live in extremely salty environments.

Organisms that live in the Archaea Domain can live in hostile environments that others cannot. They live in areas such as sulfurous hot springs, deep-sea thermal vents, salty lakes, wastewater from mining, and in the intestines of animals.
