Question
Chapter 19, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The genetic phylogeny and key traits of certain archaeal groups.
Introduction:
Archaea are majorly classified into three domains, Crenarchaeota, Thaumarchaeota, and Euryarchaeota. On exploring the genome sequence of ancient Archaeal group and benthic surface community, many phyla can be grouped. The phylum Euryarchaeota includes Haloarchaea, Methanogens, Thermococcales and Thermoplasmatales.

Students have asked these similar questions
The Archaeal glycerol stoichiometry is different from the Bacteria and
Eukarya. This may suggest that: *
Archaea use entirely different enzymes for synthesizing phospholipids
Archaean membranes are protected from leaking at high temperatures.
Archaean membranes can survive extreme temperatures
Archean membranes are not weakened by very acidic or alkaline environments
The aim of the supergroup system of classification is to:
unite the microbial and macroscopic eukaryotes based on phylogenetic inference
reflect the differences between the three domain system based on their 16S rRNA
sequences
distinguish the clade of the Prokaryotes from the Eukaryotes
show the phylogenetic relationships of the different Eukaryotic groups based on
molecular data
List 5 features of Archaea that clearly differentiate the members of this domain from Bacteria (as it relates to replication, transcription, and translation).
Explain the characteristics of archaea that indicate that they constitutea unique domain of living things that is neither bacterial noreukaryotic.
