The Diversity of Life I. An Overview II. An Overview of 'The Bacteria' III. Domain Archaea and The Early Earth The two Archaean groups exploit extreme environments (like early Earth?): Crenarchaeota: 'thermacidophiles' - reduce sulphur compounds in geothermal sulphur springs and geothermal vents.

Domain Archaea and The Early Earth The two Archaean groups exploit extreme environments (like early Earth?): Crenarchaeota: 'thermacidophiles' - reduce sulphur compounds in geothermal sulphur springs and geothermal vents. Euryarchaeota: 'methanogens' - reduce CO2 and harvest small amounts of energy.
The Diversity of Life I. An Overview II. An Overview of 'The Bacteria' III. Domain Archaea and The Early Earth The two Archaean groups exploit extreme environments (like early Earth?): Crenarchaeota: 'thermacidophiles' - oxidize sulphur compounds in geothermal sulphur springs and geothermal vents. Euryarchaeota: 'methanogens' - reduce CO2 and harvest small amounts of energy. 'halophiles' - live in saline environments; some have a very primitive form of photosynthesis.
The Diversity of Life IV. Domain Eubacteria - Proteobacteria: a diverse group including photosynthetic sulphur bacteria (using H2S as an electron donor in photosynthetic pathways), mitochondria relatives, and some human pathogens (Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae)
The Diversity of Life IV. Domain Eubacteria - Proteobacteria: a diverse group including photosynthetic sulphur bacteria (using H2S as an electron donor in photosynthetic pathways), mitochondria relatives, and some human pathogens (Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae) - Cyanobacteria: probably the first oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, they are similar structurally and physiologically to chloroplasts in eukaryotes.
