Euryarchaeota is a physiologically diverse kingdom in the domain Archaea (2,4).
Euryarchaeota are often called extremophiles, as they are able to live in extreme environments in places as diverse as the rumen of a cow, termite guts, the Dead Sea, sewage sludge and the hot pots in Yellowstone (3).
This is a diverse group of organisms that live in extremely saline or salty environments, ie originally salt lakes but now also on the surfaces of highly salted foods such as fish and meats.

The Korarchaeota have been described from DNA samples, but the actual organisms remain unknown, and the Nanoarchaeota are known from a single species discovered in 2002, Nanoarchaeum equitum.
Some work suggests that the Euryarchaeota may be closer to the eukaryotes than the Crenarchaeota, in which case the domain Archaea would be abandoned.
Microbiologists who consider the Bacteria to be paraphyletic also argue that the Archaea are not sufficiently different to be considered a separate group.

They occur ubiquitously in nature where the salt concentration is high, and are chemoorganotrophic, using amino acids or carbohydrates as a carbon source.
They are nonmotile, do not catabolize carbohydrates, proteinaceous material, or organic compounds other than formate or carbon monoxide, and are widely distributed in nature.
Its organisms are nonmotile or motile, with cells occurring as coccoid bodies, pseudosarcina, or rods.

 DISCUSSION
The novel Archaea found in soil are phylogenetically distant from the Euryarchaeota, and form a cluster distinct from any other cultured Crenarchaeota.
Hybridization with the Euryarchaeota specific probes, on the other hand, detected as many cells as the general Archaea probe.
As many of the sequences were only distantly related to any of the main metabolic subgroups of Euryarchaeota (namely the methanogens or halophiles), their metabolic properties and role in the environment could not be inferred.

Of note, the halobacteria can use light to produce ATP, although no Archaea conduct photosynthesis with an electron transport chain, as occurs in other groups.
Archaea are divided into two main groups based on rRNA trees, the Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota.
Two other groups have been tentatively created for certain environmental samples and the peculiar species Nanoarchaeum equitans, discovered in 2002 by Karl Stetter, but their affinities are uncertain.

 RESULTS
Major lineages (phyla) on Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota trees are shown as wedges with horizontal dimensions reflecting the known degree of divergence within that lineage.
Eight of the sequences form a tight VAL I lineage inside the cluster which also includes sequences previously detected in lake sediments (Hershberger et al., 1996; Schleper et al., 1997a), rice roots and soil (Grosskopf et al., 1998b), and an anaerobic digestor (Godon et al., 1997) (Fig.
Rice cluster V, which was closest to the three VAL III clade sequences, is believed to comprise of non-methanogenic anaerobic Archaea (Grosskopf et al., 1998b).

Arachaea also include the methanogens in their number, the only organisms known to produce methane, which are one of the several possible explanations for the recently discovered presence of methane on Mars.
The Korarchaeota have been described from RNA samples, but the actual organisms remain unknown, and the Nanoarchaeota are known from a single species discovered in 2002, Nanoarchaeum equitum.
The Archaea appear to be close relatives of the eukaryotes, and some work has suggested that the Euryarchaeota may be closer to them than the Crenarchaeota, though more recent studies support their monophyly.

 EURYARCHAEOTA
I have followed the relative placement of Garrity et al (2001) and moved them into the Kingdom Euryarchaeota together with the methanogens and extreme halophiles.
I separated Thermoplasma and its relatives from other thermophiles because they are only mildly thermophilic, they do not contain sterols in their membranes, and they do contain histones in association with their chromosome.
This system follows that of Garrity et al (2001 and 2003) who place the thermoplasmas in the Euryarchaeota as a taxon equal to the methanogens and halophiles.

Phylogenetic diveristy in the domain Archaea is subdivided into two main lineages: Euryarchaeota and Crenarcheaota.
The traditional view of the diversity of Archaea has been that the kingdom Euryarchaeota is a physiologically variable group including halophiles, thermophiles and methanogens.
On the other hand, diversity in the the kingdom Crenarchaeota has been thought to be more homogenous, consisting exclusively of sulfur-dependent, extreme thermophiles (1) This view, however, has been based primarily on cultivation studies and has subsequently provided a biased picture of crenarchaeal diversity due to the difficulty of cultivating most organisms (2,3).

"According to rRNA trees, there are two groups within the Archaea: the kingdoms Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota.
The Euryarchaeota span a broader ecological range and include hyperthermophiles (e.g.
Based on different reanalyses of rRNA and elongation factor trees, Lake and co-workers have long advocated that the Archaea are a paraphyletic rather than monophyletic group where the kingdom Crenarchaeota is more closely related to eukaryotes than is the kingdom Euryarchaeota.

While the polypeptide serving this function in bacteria contains one OB fold, the eukaryotic functional homolog comprises a complex of three proteins, each harboring at least one OB fold.
Here, we show that unlike these groups of organisms, the Euryarchaeota has exploited the potential in the OB fold to re-invent single-stranded DNA binding proteins many times.
However, the most common form is a protein with two OB folds and one zinc-finger domain.
