Archaebacteria is considered as the major division of living organism and is a single cell organism. These organisms are known to be found in the extreme environments but many findings have described it as an omnipresent organism.
It was Carl Woese along with George Fox who identified this organism first and separated it from other prokaryotes and also argued that it represented a different branch of living things.
Archaebacteria, on the basis of its habitat can be classified into three groups; halophiles, methanogens and thermophiles. The first group lives in a quite saline environment and the second one as their name suggests produces methane while living in the anaerobic environment. Thermophiles again can be described with their name itself and they live at quite high temperature and is usually found hot springs.
