Chapter 26.3, Problem 4SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The extreme thermophiles and psychrophiles.
Introduction:
The members of the Archaea domain are special bacteria that survive in extreme habitats like high salt concentration, very high or low temperatures, and reducing environment. They are also termed as extremophiles. They are sub-divided into several groups depending on their physiological roles and the genomic sequences.
