Archaebacteria Kingdom
Thermophiles
A Thermophile is a type of extremophile that thrives in high temperatures making the tropical rainforest a perfect habitat for these organisms. Thermophillic bacteria are thought to be the earliest amongst bacteria. Going back to the temperature statement, thermophiles are able to withstand amazing temperatures of up to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature most bacteria would be damaged or die from exposure to this type of heat. The word "Thermophile" is from the Greek word (thermotita) which means heat.
Halophiles
This bacteria requires a salt-rich environment for it to grow and survive. This organism is also very different than other bacteria. It has a special ability to withstand high salt levels, in which most cases, most other archaebacteria would be damaged or killed. This is possibly due to the difference in protein composition than other bacterias'. Halophiles have higher amino acids that have large hydrophilic side chains. The names comes from the Greek word meaning salt-loving.
Arthrospira Platenis
These archaebacteria are characterized by multicellular trichomes. Platensis stands for nutrition, in which this bacteria does have. It is actually edible due to low purine concentration. In history, it is shown that Aztecs used to consume this for food for nutritional purposes. These were flattened and dried into patties. This is a single-celled organism.
