A group of single-celled microorganisms including the methanogens and some halophiles and thermoacidophiles, recognized in the 1970's by C. R. Woese and his colleagues as being a distinct group on the basis of RNA sequences, cell walls, and coenzymes differing from those of other microbes. It is believed to be an ancient form of living organism that evolved separately from the eubacteria and blue-green algae. It is classified as a separate kingdom by some taxonomists.

archaebacteria
Archaebacteria, also known simply as archaea, are a group of microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size and simplicity of structure, but are genetically and metabolically distinct. They are known for being able to survive in extreme conditions, such as high salinity, acidity, or temperature, due to their unique biochemical characteristics. They are one of the three domains of life, alongside bacteria and eukaryotes. Unlike bacteria, archaea do not have cell walls made of peptidoglycan, and they also have distinct membrane lipids and ribosomal RNAs.
