Question : Differentiate between Archaebacteria and eubacteria |
| Answer» Solution :Archaebacteria are characterised by possessing cell walls without PEPTIDOGLYCAN, a substance found in the walls of EUBACTERIA. The lipids in their plasma membrane are branched, DIFFERING not only from those of other bacteria. This UNUSUAL lipid makup is probably related to the extreme environments to which they have adapted. The phototrophic forms use the pigment bacteriorhodopsininstead of bacteriochlorophyll used by eubacteria. | |
