By: Tyler Bailey Nicole Is a bacteria that can withstand high temperatures T. Aquaticus is the source of the enzyme, Taq DNA Polymerase, which is heat resistant. T. Aquaticus belongs to the group called Deinoccocus-Thermus Archaebacteria’s role in the world is somewhat reclusive. No other organism in the world can fill the role of archaebacteria. As an example cows require the work of methanogens, an archaebacteria, to extract energy from cellulose. Similar organisms help termites eat wood. Archaebacteria has been around for a VERY, VERY long time. It is one of those organisms that is never really thought of but is still very important in how things work in the world. Common Charaecterics: 1. Single celled 2. Major group of micro organisms 3. No nucleus 4. They are prokaryotes 5. They look like bacteria but they are different 6. They lack the cell wall part called the peptidogly 1. Volcanoes 2. Geysers 3. Hot Springs 4. Oil wells 5.
