  1. archaebacteria

    Archaebacteria, also known simply as archaea, are a group of microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size and simplicity of structure, but are genetically and metabolically distinct. They are known for being able to survive in extreme conditions, such as high salinity, acidity, or temperature, due to their unique biochemical characteristics. They are one of the three domains of life, alongside bacteria and eukaryotes. Unlike bacteria, archaea do not have cell walls made of peptidoglycan, and they also have distinct membrane lipids and ribosomal RNAs.
