:confused: What are some examples of archeabacteria and eubacteria? Like in the household or at a super market. Something that you could find every day.
Thanks,

A subkingdom of bacteria, they survive in environments similar to those found on the young earth: hot springs, sea vents releasing sulfide-rich gases, boiling muds around volcanos, that sort of place. They differ from other bacteria (called Eubacteria) because:

* they are mostly anaerobic
* the RNA of their ribosomes is different to that of Eubacteria.
* they have no peptidoglycan in their cell walls
* their fats are linked together in a different way

They include the methane forming, the salt loving and the heat loving bacteria.

Now you decide if they belong in the supermarket or household.
