Archaea live in all environments imp in microbiology. Tree of life based on 165 ribosomal sequences. Two of them are prokaryotic eubacteria mostfamiliar archaea less familiar. Bacteria x b 8 e proteobacteria firmicutesetc common ancestors. 1000um l mm obligate intracellular parasite 0. 2m only genes. Basicdyes have 1 groups usually n binds strongly to charged things. Staining technique gram staining christian gram in 1884. Differentiates between i gram inventedby outer membranes thin cell wallsloneor two layer major bacterial group. Crystal violet stains thick cell walls washes out thinones m purple. Safranin counterstain to seecells that lose crystalviolet pink. N basicdye looks like dna base fluorescent dye white blue. Makes purple stain hard to wash away ethanol wash.
