Archaea Kingdom

Characteristics:

  • Prokaryotic

  • Unicellular

  • Cell wall has proteins

  • Live in extreme environments (extremophiles)

  • Non-pathogenic

Halophiles

Thermophiles

Acidophiles

Live in highly salty environments

Live in extreme heat environments

Live in highly acidic envrionemts

Differences between archaea and Bacteria:

  • Archea do not have peptidoglycan

  • Cell membrane structure difefrent

  • Methods of protien synthesis differ

  • RNA molecules are different
