Examples of Archaebacteria


Methanogens


Methanogens are organisms that live in swamps and marshes under anaerobic conditions. They are also found in the gut of some herbivores and humans. They are present in dead and decaying matter too. They are strictly anaerobic organisms and are killed when exposed to oxygen. They reduce carbon dioxide using H2and release methane in swamps and marshes that is called marsh gas. They are thus added to biogas reactors for production of methane gas for cooking and sewage treatment plants.

Halophiles

Halophiles are organisms that survive in an environment with high salt concentration. They are found in the Great Salt Lake, Dead Sea, and highly saline waters. Many species of halophiles contain a pink/red pigment known as carotenoids. They form colonies of bacteria, which can be as much as 100 million bacteria per millimeter!

Halogeometricum borinquense

Haloterrigena turkmenica
Halorubrum kocurii
Haloarcula marismortui
Halobacterium salinarum
Haloferax elongans
Halorubrum saccharovorum
Haloarcula marismortui


Thermoacidophiles
Thermoacidophiles or thermophiles are organisms that live in hot and acidic conditions. They can survive in sulfur-rich environment, like hot springs and geysers that have temperatures of over 50 °C. Thermoacidophiles have both aerobic and anaerobic species, and they are often recognized from their color, which forms due to photosynthetic pigmentation. This archaea can be seen in the Yellowstone National Park.

Thermomyces lanuginosus

Archaebacteria are a diverse group of organisms, and recent research has recognized this group as a major part of the Earth's life. There are many species of Archaea found, and the above were just some examples of this group.
