Question

What is the difference between eubacteria and archaebacteria?

Answer 1

Difference between eubacteria and archaebacteria:

1. Eubacteria are called true bacteria and N-acetylmuramic and they have higher degrees of organization.
2. Archaebacteria are called living fossils and they can survive in extremely harsh (highly acidic, high temperature, methanogenic) environments.

Eubacteria	Archaebacteria
They have comparatively larger genome sequences.	They have comparatively smaller genome sequences.
Their cell walls contain repeating subunits of N-Acetylglucosamine and N-Acetylmuramic Acid.	Their cell walls contain repeating subunits of N-Acetylglucosamine and N-Acetyltalosaminuronic acid.
Their cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer.	Their cell membrane is a lipid monolayer consisting of Glycerol Dialkyl Glycerol Tetraether.
