Archaeans include inhabitants of some of the most extreme environments on the planet. Some live near rift vents in the deep sea at temperatures well over 100 degrees Centigrade. Others live in hot springs (such as the ones pictured above), or in extremely alkaline or acid waters.
Among these three main types of archaea are some subtypes, which include: Methanogens (meth-an-oh-jins) â archaeans that produce methane gas as a waste product of their digestion, or process of making energy. Halophiles (hal-oh-files) â those archaeans that live in salty environments. Thermophiles (ther-mo-files) â the archaeans that live at extremely hot temperatures. Psychrophiles (sigh-crow-files) â those that live at unusually cold temperatures. Archaea look and act a lot like bacteria. So much so that until the late 1970s, scientists assumed they were a kind of âweirdâ bacteria. Then microbiologist Carl Woese devised an ingenious method of comparing genetic information showing that they could not rightly be called bacteria at all.
