Document Summary
Archaeal cells can grow in hot, medium, and cold environments. Eubacteria evolved from the first bacterial cell. Morphologically, the two kingdoms of prokayotes appear similar, however, they have major biochemical differences such as the chemistry of their cell wall (no peptidoglycan in archaea"s cell wall). In hot springs very deep in the ocean (38,000 degrees celsius). Or 2 degrees celsius in the ocean (around the hot water). Halophiles- in high salt concentration, like in the dead sea (in israel- they like chilling with the jews). Darwinian evolution- if you can fit in the environment, you will stay in the. But archaea dont produce bacteria that is harmful to humans either. Most commonly used in the food and agricultural industry. Under aerobic conditions can be used as a bakers yeast. Under anaerobic conditions used for alcohol production. Involved in human diseases such as- yeast infections, opportunistic infections (e. g. aids).
