Summary Introduction
To review:
The concept that no archaea are pathogens of animals or plants.
Introduction:
Archaea is the third domain of life and found in extreme environmental conditions where bacteria and eukaryotes cannot survive. They are also found in less extreme conditions such as in soil, water, and in association with animals and plants. Many archaea are known to be found in collaboration with bacteria.
