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.

What kingdom is made up of bacteria that live in extreme environments?

The kingdom of bacteria that live in extreme environments is called Archaebacteria. These organisms thrive in conditions such as acidic hot springs, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and high-salt environments. Archaebacteria are known for their ability to survive in harsh conditions due to their unique cell membrane structure and biochemistry.

What is the difference between eubacteria and archaebacteria?

Eubacteria are true bacteria found in diverse environments, while archaebacteria are a separate group of single-celled microorganisms that often live in extreme environments. Archaebacteria have unique cell membranes and genetic makeup compared to eubacteria.


Why can bateria live in hostile 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.


Archaebacteria that live in oxygen-free environments include?

Methanogens, which are a type of archaebacteria, thrive in oxygen-free environments such as wetlands, swamps, and the digestive tracts of animals. They produce methane gas as a byproduct of their metabolic processes. Another example is halophiles, which live in extremely salty environments like salt flats and salt mines.
