Archeabacteria typically fall into one of three categories based on their metabolism. Methanogens produce methane as a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism. Halophiles thrive in extremely saline conditions that are too salty for most organisms. Thermophiles exist in extremely hot places that would boil most other organisms. These organisms thrive in conditions that resemble what the earth probably was 3.5 billion years ago and are likely some of the oldest life forms on the planet.
