  1. archaea By: Tyler Ferko, Mauricio Cabrera, Mike Dimmig, Jena Nagel

  2. General Information • They can live in high heat or very salty places • 1stplace in evolution and it’s the 3rd branch of life • Phyla Methanobacteria-. Anaerobic bacteria that reduces carbon dioxide Thermobacteria- lives in very hot places Halobacteria-lives in very concentrated salt solutions

  3. General Information • Discovered in 1977 by Carl Woese and George Fox • Yellowstone National Park, USA • They have a verity of shapes such like coccus, plate-like and spirilluium. • Also know as Archaeabacterial • Archea is not consider bacteria because archeais much simpler then bacteria. - they have histone proteins - contains DNA

  4. Structure • Archaea… • Prokaryotic, and have no nucleus • are allunicellular • Most are extremophyles • They have a cell wall and do not contain peptidoglycan • There rRNA and tRNA is different from bacteria which makes it unique, it uses methioninewhereas bacteria uses formylmethonine. • They also have a flagella which helps them move

  5. Metabolism • Archaea is a Producer and a Autotroph • Halobacteria use light to produce energy. • Two types of Archaea use ion pumps to produce ATP • The exact metabolism of Archaea differs greatly among its individual types.
