  JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC BIOLOGY 7(2)
The methods that were used in the cladistic analysis of the phylogeny of Archaeabacteria are found in the MacClade (Maddison and Maddison, 1992).
This differs from the documentation of Margulis and Schwartz (1998) that separated the Archaeabacteria into two phyla, allowing the genera in the clade at point F to be interspersed within the genera in the clade at point A despite their absence of pseudomurein.
Our taxonomy is a reclassification of 25 genera of the Archaeabacteria, which contrasts the one documented by Margulis and Schwartz (1998) in that we recognize four phyla as opposed to two.

Archaeabacteria were originally thought to be the oldest organisms on earth.
Archaeabacteria seem to be more closely related to eukaryotes than eubacteria are, contrary to previous speculations.
The domain concept is the idea that archaeabacteria and eubacteria evolved from a common ancestor, and from archaebacteria's branch came eukaryotes.

These microbes called archaeabacteria, or simply "archaea", constitute a third branch of life on Earth, along with prokaryotes (normal bacteria) and eukaryotes (plants and animals).
Like prokaryotes, the genetic material of archaeabacteria float freely throughout the cell -- they are not contained within the cell nucleus like eukaryotic organisms.
The pink coloration is caused by halophilic (salt-loving) bacteria living in a thin layer of brine on the surface of the lake bed.

 Evolution and the origin of life
Our other exhibit explains how we can observe mutations in bacteria directly.
Archaeabacteria are a diverse group of bacteria (prokaryotes that do not have a nucleus) and are considered a major group unto themselves.
This group is called the Archaea (from Greek, 'old') for short and to distinguish them from the other prokaryotes, all other bacteria are then called Eubacteria.

Variants of phospholipids, from those discussed above, include the ether-derived phospholipids, such as are found in archaeabacteria (as well as in some eukaryotic tissues, such as lung).
Ether phospholipids (structure HERE) have an advantage over normal phospholipids in that the ether linkage of the fatty acid to the glycoerol backbone is more resistant to hydrolysis.
In addition (in archaeabacteria only), the side chains are branched instead of linear, providing protection against oxidation in the extreme conditions archaeabateria often are found.

But, when scientists began anaylizing the cells of these remarkable organisms in more detail, they made a very unexpected discovery.
Archaeabacteria are both biochemically and genetically, as different from bacteria as they are from plants and animals.
The cell wall is present, but does not contain peptidoglycan.

The Environmental Bioengineering group is working at developing an effective technology for the biodegradation of recalcitrant compounds such as organochlorides, for example trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE).
The approach is based on intimate coupling of anaerobic and aerobic populations (namely methanotrophic bacteria and methanogenic archaeabacteria) for complete biodegradation of chlorinated solvents.
The technology is equipped with a water electrolysis cell for supplying oxygen to the system.

The term bacteria are widely used to define prokaryotic organisms; but molecular studies have shown that prokaryotes divided into two distinct groups (domain) as Bacteria and Archaea.
The domain Archaea contains relatively small group of organisms, which classified as members of the kingdom Archaea (former Archaeabacteria).
Members of this group include species that tend to live in extreme habitats like high salinity, high temperature, absence of oxygen etc.; due to that studies on Archaea is very restricted.

The bacteria at hydrothermal vents are so prolific, they are able to sustain the growth of many multicellular species, including a species of worm that can grow over six feet long.
One organism responsible for sustaining this ecosystem is a prokaryote less than one micrometer in diameter, the archaeabacteria Methanococcus jannaschii.
Some biologists believed that it would be better to have two groups to separate true bacteria from archaeabacteria, but it wasn’t until the first archaea’s genome was sequenced that strong evidence supported this case.

This has made them ubiquitous in the biosphere, both as free-living forms and as parasites in multicellular forms of life.

Recently we identified a second, novel RNA ligase (Rnl2) encoded by bacteriophage T4.
Rnl2 defines a new family of RNA ligase, which include the trypanosome editing ligases and a group of putative RNA ligases encoded by eukaryotic DNA viruses and archaeabacteria.
To address whether the Rnl2-like protein participates in RNA recombination or in a yet unknown repair process, genetic systems using the yeast is under development and would provide an in vivo functional assay for Rnl2-like proteins.

 Virology Journal | Full text | A new example of viral intein in Mimivirus
Archaeal PolI inteins have been described only in extremophiles, growing under conditions of temperature over 80°C (hyperthermophiles) or of high salinity (10 times that of sea water; halophiles).
Mimivirus is mesophilic, growing in amoeba under the temprature of 37°C. The association of an archaeal-seqeunce-like intein with a eukaryotic-like PolB in Mimivirus thus suggests an indirect interaction between mesophilic eukaryotic viruses and extremophilic archaeabacteria.
Mesophilic euryarchaea species similar to the methanogens associated with rumen [21,22] or related species found in human beings [23] might have mediated the transition of inteins between extreme environment and moderate one in the course of evolution.
