Solution
- These bacteria are special since they live in some of the harshest habitats, such as extreme salty areas (halophiles), hot springs (thermoacidophiles), and marshy areas (methanogens).
- Archaebacteria differ from other bacteria in having a different cell wall structure, and this feature is responsible for their survival in extreme conditions.
- Methanogens are present in the gut of several ruminant animals such as cows and buffaloes and they are responsible for the production of methane (biogas) from the dung of these animals.
