  2. Archaea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaea

    The salt-tolerant Haloarchaea use sunlight as an energy source, and other species of archaea fix carbon (autotrophy), but unlike plants and cyanobacteria, no known species of archaea does both. Archaea reproduce asexually by binary fission, fragmentation, or budding; unlike bacteria, no known species of Archaea form endospores.

  3. Monera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monera

    Monera (/məˈnɪərə/) (Greek: μονήρης (monḗrēs), "single", "solitary") is historically a biological kingdom that is made up of prokaryotes.As such, it is composed of single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeplastida

    Mattox and Stewart 1984) – green algae (part) and land plants; Charophyta sensu lato, as used by Adl et al., is a monophyletic group which is made up of some green algae, including the stoneworts (Charophyta sensu stricto), as well as the land plants (embryophytes). Sub-divisions other than Streptophytina (below) were not given by Adl et al.

  5. Eukaryote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote

    The multicellular eukaryotes include the animals, plants, and fungi, but again, these groups too contain many unicellular species. [10] Eukaryotic cells are typically much larger than those of prokaryotes—the bacteria and the archaea—having a volume of around 10,000 times greater.

  6. Marine microorganisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_microorganisms

    Salt-tolerant archaea (the Haloarchaea) use sunlight as an energy source, and other species of archaea fix carbon; however, unlike plants and cyanobacteria, no known species of archaea does both. Archaea reproduce asexually by binary fission , fragmentation , or budding ; unlike bacteria and eukaryotes, no known species forms spores .

  7. Haloarchaea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloarchaea

    Haloarchaea (halophilic archaea, halophilic archaebacteria, halobacteria) [1] are a class of prokaryotic archaea under the phylum Euryarchaeota, [2] found in water saturated or nearly saturated with salt. 'Halobacteria' are now recognized as archaea rather than bacteria and are one of the largest groups or archaea.

  8. Thermophile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophile

    Many hyperthermophilic Archaea require elemental sulfur for growth. Some are anaerobes that use the sulfur instead of oxygen as an electron acceptor during cellular respiration (anaerobic) . Some are lithotrophs that oxidize sulphur to create sulfuric acid as an energy source, thus requiring the microorganism to be adapted to very low pH (i.e ...

  9. Nitrososphaerota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrososphaerota

    Nitrososphaerota are important ammonia oxidizers in aquatic and terrestrial environments, and are the first archaea identified as being involved in nitrification. [32] They are capable of oxidizing ammonia at much lower substrate concentrations than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, and so probably dominate in oligotrophic conditions.
