They are found only in extreme environments
Archaebacteria can generally survive in much more extreme conditions, such as extreme heat, salty, pH, etc. environments. Those "other" bacteria will generally survive only within an optimal range of temperature, etc.
They are found only in extreme environments.
Extremophiles, organisms that thrive in extreme conditions such as high temperatures or high salinity, were originally thought to only exist in extreme environments. However, they have since been discovered in diverse habitats including soil, water, and the human body. This highlights the adaptability and resilience of extremophiles to various environmental conditions.
The six kingdoms of life are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Archaebacteria are single-celled organisms that thrive in extreme environments. Eubacteria are also single-celled organisms, but they are found in more common habitats. Protista consist of diverse unicellular and some multicellular organisms like algae and protozoans. Fungi are non-motile organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption. Plantae are multicellular organisms capable of photosynthesis. Animalia are multicellular organisms that are heterotrophic.

They are found only in extreme environments.
Archaebacteria, or Archaea, are prokaryotic organisms that live in extreme environments. They have unique cell membranes and genetic material that set them apart from other kingdoms. They are considered a separate domain of life due to these differences.
Archaebacteria are unicellular organisms that have been dated back 3.5 billion years. They live in extreme environments such as those that are very hot, very salty, or have a high methane concentration.
Extremophiles, organisms that thrive in extreme conditions such as high temperatures or high salinity, were originally thought to only exist in extreme environments. However, they have since been discovered in diverse habitats including soil, water, and the human body. This highlights the adaptability and resilience of extremophiles to various environmental conditions.
Archaebacteria are now known as archaea and have been classified as an entirely new domain.Archaea: cell membrane contains ether linkages; cell wall lacks peptidoglycan; genes and enzymes behave more like Eukaryotes; have three RNA polymerases like eukaryotes; and extremophilesBacteria: cell membrane contains ester bonds; cell wall made of peptidoglycan; have only one RNA polymerase; react to antibiotics in a different way than archea do.
The archaebacteria are the only anaerobic species, who do not tolerate free oxygen.
Archaebacteria are a large category of living organisms. They are more commonly known as Archaea. Initially they were found in extreme environments but are now found sporadically in all kinds of habitat. Archaebacteria are often of the extremophile variety. They can not only survive but actually thrive at extremely high temperatures, sometimes even higher than 100°C. This is why they are frequently found in black smokers and geysers, which have relatively high temperatures. For example geysers at Yellowstone National Park in America house some archaeans. Some archaeans are found in extremely cold habitats in alkaline, acidic and highly saline water. Archaeans can be divided in to three categories depending on the habitat in which they thrive- namely thermophiles, methanogens and halophiles. Halophiles thrive in very saline environments. Methanogens thrive in anaerobic habitats and thermophiles prefer places which have extremely high temperatures.

Most archaebacteria need to have air and water to survive. Some archaebacteria don't need air only sunlight to survive.
