Learn about Archaea:
In a written report form tell me everything about the bad (diseases) and good, they cause in the world.
Archaea are single-celled microorganisms with structure similar to bacteria
Some live near rift vents in the deep sea at temperatures well over 100 degrees Centigrade. Others live in hot springs or in acidic water
Structure of archaea
archaea play a pivotal role in ecosystems with organisms that derive energy from oxidation of methane, many of which are bacteria, as they are often a major source of methane in such environments and can play a role as primary producers.
most archaea are known to be beneficial rather than harmful to human health. They may be important for reducing skin pH or keeping it at low levels, and lower pH is associated with lower susceptibility to infections
Archaea in the family halobacteriaceae grow on extremely salty environments. These organisms can be used to produce plastics that are even biocompatible (although currently is not economically rentable), and some special proteins in their membranes that can pump ions through a membrane in response to light have extensive applications in neuroscience and some industrial fields.
There is no such harmful effect of archaea
