Habitats and Energy Metabolism of Crenarchaeota
Crenarchaeota exist in a wide range of habitats and exhibit a great variety of chemical reactions in their metabolism.
Hyperthermophiles from Terrestrial Volcanic Habitats
A hyperthermophile thrives at relatively high temperatures and can be found in geothermally heated regions of the Earth.
Hyperthermophiles from Submarine Volcanic Habitats
Hyperthermophiles live in dark regions of the oceans and use chemosynthesis to produce biomass from single carbon molecules.
Nonthermophilic Crenarchaeota
Nonthermophilic Crenarchaeota can be extreme halophiles living in highly salty environments.
Psychrophilic Crenarchaeota
Psychrophiles crenarchaeotes are extremophilic organisms that are capable of growth and reproduction in cold temperatures.
