    Types of archeabacteria and eubacteria
    :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.
