Archaebacteria

Archaebacteria is a domain of a single celled microorganism. These microbes are prokaryotes, meaning they have no nucleus. Many archaea thrive in extreme conditions such as hot sulfur pools or in minerals and rock deep inside the earth. As the boiling water above represents these harsh conditions that the archaebacteria can live in. They even found a new group of archae in an acid mine drainage, they called it arman.
