Chapter 17.8, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
Crenarchaeota are a hyperthermophilic organism which carries anaerobic respiration where elemental sulfur (S0) is utilized as electron acceptor and is reduced to H2S. Archaeoglobus, a hyperthermophilic Euryarchaeotes on the other hand has the ability to reduce sulfate (SO42-) and thereby it makes a phylogenetically different lineage within Euryarchaeota.
