eubacteria
|
|
|
found in unusual environments like in high salt-containing water
|
archaebacteria
|
|
|
lives in thermally or geothermally heated environments
|
archaebacteria
|
|

|
archaebacteria
|
|
|
five groups that [insert what microorganism] are currently know:
1. halophiles (or slat loving) archaebacteria that require 12 - 13% NaCl for growth 2. archaebacterial methanogens that produce methane (CH4) from growth on H2 and CO2 gases 3. extreme or hyperthermohilic sulfur metabolizing archaebacteria 4. sulfate-reducing archaebacteria, that carry out SO4 respitation 5. cell-wall less archaebacteria |
