1. Kingdom: Archaebacteria
The Extremeophiles

2. Characteristics Microscopic Unicellular Cell walls
Prokaryotes (lack a nucleus)
Reproduce by binary fission

4. 3 major groups Methanogens Halophiles: salt lovers
Thermophiles: heat lovers

5. Halophiles
Great salt Lake

9. Thermophiles Heat loving bacteria Live in underwater thermal vents
Live in hot springs, Old Faithful
May be descendents of 1st life forms
Carry out chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis

15. Methanogens Produce methane gas Anaerobic
Live in gut of cows, humans, land-fills, deep in mud
Can be used as an alternative source of energy
