1) Thermoacidophilic bacteria
Bacteria that can only live in high temperatures
2) Halophilic bacteria
Bacteria that can only live when there is high quantities of salt
3) Methanogenic bacteria
Bacteria that reduce the levels of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere by producing methane. Unfortunately, they can't be used as a greenhouse gas reducer as they are killed by oxygen.
These are phylum's of archaebacteria. The species are inside of these (types of one of the three)
The archaebacteria are the only anaerobic species, who do not tolerate free oxygen.
The archaebacteria are the only anaerobic species, who do not tolerate free oxygen.
There are approximately 120 known species of archaebacteria in the world. These organisms are known for their ability to thrive in extreme environments.
The archaebacteria are the only anaerobic species, who do not tolerate free oxygen.
After the discovery of archaebacteria, it was decided that archaebacteria and eubacteria have too many different characteristics that they need their own domains.
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
archaebacteria
Archaebacteria can be chemoheterotrophs, meaning they obtain their energy by consuming organic matter. Some species of archaebacteria can also be chemolithotrophs, deriving energy from inorganic compounds such as sulfur or hydrogen.
No one nos there are still some being discovered today. No one nos there are still some being discovered today. But if i were to say how many there are that have been discovered, around 300,000. Hope that answers your question. :)
Scientists classify archaebacteria based on their genetic and biochemical differences from other bacteria. They use molecular techniques like DNA sequencing to compare the genetic makeup of archaebacteria with that of other organisms to determine their evolutionary relationships. Additionally, scientists study the unique features of archaebacteria's cell walls, membranes, and metabolic processes to classify them into different groups.
Eubacteria and archaebacteria can be both heterotrophic (obtaining nutrients from organic compounds) and autotrophic (able to produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis), depending on the species.
Yes, some species of archaebacteria can thrive in extreme environments like volcanoes where the conditions are hot and acidic. These types of archaebacteria are known as extremophiles and have unique adaptations that allow them to survive in such harsh conditions.
