What is the difference between ancient and true bacteria?

Ancient bacteria can live in very extreme environments. often with little or no oxygen. true bacteria can not do this. Ancient bacteria are often found in hot sulfur springs, muddy environments such as mudflats and swamps, and places deep in the ocean where lava and hot water seep through cracks on the ocean floor. But true bacteria are found EVERYWHERE except extreme environments.


What are some names of ancient bacteria?

Technically, all bacteria is ancient and has developed over billions of years. The bacteria we find today all comes from a common ancestor.

What following characteristics can be used to classify an organism into a taxonomic domain?

The current system, the Three Domain System, groups organisms primarily based on differences in ribosomal RNA structure. Ribosomal RNA is a molecular building block for ribosomes. Under this system, organisms are classified into three domains and six kingdoms. The domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. The kingdoms are Archaebacteria (ancient bacteria), Eubacteria (true bacteria), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia
