Abstract

The phylum currently consists of seven classes: the Methanobacteria, the Methanococci, the Halobacteria, the Thermoplasmata, the Thermococci, the Archaeoglobi, and the Methanopyri. With the sole exception of the Methanococci, which is subdivided into three orders, each class contains a single order. The Euryarchaeota are morphologically diverse and occur as rods, cocci, irregular cocci, lancet-shaped, spiral-shaped, disk-shaped, triangular, or square cells. Cells stain Gram-positive or Gram-negative based on the presence or absence of pseudomurein in cell walls. In some classes, cell walls consist entirely of protein or may be completely absent (Thermoplasmata). Five major physiological groups have been described previously: the methanogenic Archaea, the extremely halophilic Archaea, Archaea lacking a cell wall, sulfate reducing Archaea, and the extremely thermophilic S0 metabolizers.
