Study Notes
Archaebacteria Habitats
- Archaebacteria live in extreme environments such as hot springs, salt lakes, and deep-sea vents.
Survival Mechanisms
- The unique molecular structure of archaebacteria's cell membranes allows them to survive in extreme conditions.
Methanogens in Ruminant Animals
- Methanogens are found in the gut of ruminant animals, such as cows and goats.
- The main product produced by methanogens in the gut of ruminant animals is methane gas.
Non-Harsh Habitat
- Freshwater lakes are NOT mentioned as a harsh habitat where archaebacteria can live.
Archaebacteria Characteristics
- The main difference between archaebacteria and other bacteria is the unique molecular structure of their cell membranes.
Methanogens in Animals
- Methanogens are present in the gut of ruminant animals, such as cows, goats, and sheep.
