Introduction
Microbes are found indifferent environments and they thrive depending on the conditions. Among the microbes there are archaea and bacteria, which have different characteristics. There are three domains of life, the archaea, the bacteria, and the eukaryota, where prokaryotic organisms are either domain archaea or bacteria. Organisms have DNA and RNA with the DNA associated with the genetic coding, and it is necessary to understand how chemical principles influence cellular activities and functioning in microorganisms. To further understand the microbial world I will focus on metabolism between algae and cyanobacteria, and will then identify organism most likely to be found in environments with abundant crude oil.
What general characteristics determine whether a prokaryote belongs to the Archaea or Bacteria domain?
Not only do the bacteria have simple...
