Archae- Extreme conditions, no peptidoglycan list three examples, where they live, relation to oxygen, interesting fact Methanogens-

live in cows, termites, swamps, wetlands, garbage dumps, live anaerobically, converts hydrogen + carbon dioxide to methane to generate energy. methane is a major greenhouse gas that traps heat. Halophiles- lives in extremely salty conditions - great salt lake, seawater evaporation beds. mostly aerobic, contains bacteriorhodopsin, similar to rhodopsin, pigment in our eyes. Rhodopsin is called the purple membrane protein. Thermophiles- extreme temps, lives in hydrothermal vents in the ocean, hot springs in yellowstone national park. lives up to 113 deg. Celsius, lives anaerobically by using sulfur to donate electrons and creates hydrogen sulfide. some generate sulfuric acid, live at low pHs.

Eu- spiral, rod, sphere, peptidoglycan in cell walls, found everywhere, causes diseases (bubonic plague, leprosy) You need to list four examples of Eubacteria, what they do, where they live (if possible), and interesting facts about them.enteric: live in digestive tracts, digest stuff, E. coli good (in humans), and salmonella bad (in chickens) pathogenic types causes food poisoning. Nitrifying and Nitrogen: live in plant root nodules, help turn nitrogen into ammonia, then into nitrate for plants to use. Rickettsia and Chlamydia- live inside cells, inside insects and infect mammals through bites, causes rocky mountain fever, typhus, chlamydiamost common STD.

Cyanobacteira: photosynthetic,forms filaments (chains), produce most of the earths oxygen, source of chloroplast in cells, forms cell walls to fossilize, heterocysts are heavily walled cells that do nitrogen fixation for the rest of the filament. Both- ability to have capsule, prokaryotic, unicellular, reproduce through binary fission, reproduce very quickly, have circular dna, small, simple, doesn't need a lot of genetic material to survive
