What are Archaea?
Archaea in Nature
- Archaea are the world’s shock absorber
- Archaea can tolerate harsh conditions and environmental changes
- Archaea play a key role in carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and sulfur cycle
Archaea are NOT Bacteria
- Archaea and bacteria differ in
- Cell wall composition
- Habitats (some extremophiles)
- Enzymes (degrade a variety of substrates)
- Multiple species of Archaea exist in both aerobic and anaerobic environments

Archaea and Bacteria: Syntrophic Relationship
- Archaea degrade waste that bacteria cannot degrade
- Archaea degrade bacterial waste products
- Archaea solubilize waste to provide substrate for bacteria and also degrade the solubilized waste
- RESULT: Improved microbial performance
