Archaealstructures:CellWall
No peptidoglycan
Typically no outer membrane
Pseudomurein
Polysaccharide similar to peptidoglycan
Composed of N-acetylglucosamine and Nacetyltalosaminuronic acid
Found in cell walls of certain methanogenic
Archaea
Cell walls of some Archaea lack pseudomurein
Archaealstructures:CellWall
Variable cell wall composition (some do not contain cell
walls, e.g.. Thermoplasma)
Methanobacterium sp.: glycans (sugars) & peptides
Methanosarcina sp. non-sulfated polysaccharides
Halococcus sp. sulfated polysaccharides
Halobacterium sp.
negatively charged acidic amino acids
counteract + charges of high Na+ in environment.
Cells lyses in NaCl concentrations < 15%.
Methanomicrobium sp. & Methanococcus sp. exclusively
made up of protein subunits.
Chlorophyll pigments
also synthesize ATP, a
light driven process
Acetotrophic
substrates are those
that consume acetate
Hyperthermophilic Euryarchaeota
Thermococcales and Methanopyrus
A few euryarchaeotes thrive in thermal environments, and
some are hyperthermophiles. All organisms in this group
have growth temperature optima above 80C.
Thermococcus is a spherical hyperthermophilic
euryarchaeote indigenous to anoxic thermal waters in various
locations throughout the world.
Methanopyrus is a rod-shaped hyperthermophilic
methanogen isolated from sediments near submarine
hydrothermal vents and from the walls of "black smoker"
hydrothermal vent chimneys.
Hyperthermophilic Euryarchaeota
Thermococcales and Methanopyrus
Methanopyrus is unusual because it contains membrane
lipids found in no other known organism.
In the lipids of Archaea, the glycerol side chains contain
phytanyl rather than fatty acids bonded in ether linkage to
the glycerol.
In Methanopyrus, this ether-linked lipid is an unsaturated
form of the otherwise saturated dibiphytanyl tetraethers
found in other hyperthermophilic Archaea
Hyperthermophilic Euryarchaeota
The Archaeoglobales
Archaeoglobus was isolated from hot marine sediments
near hydrothermal vents.
In its metabolism, Archaeoglobus couples the oxidation of
H2, lactate, pyruvate, glucose, or complex organic
compounds to the reduction of sulfate to sulfide.
Ferroglobus is related to Archaeoglobus but is not a sulfatereducing bacterium. Instead, Ferroglobus is an ironoxidizing chemolithotrophic autotroph, conserving energy
from the oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ coupled to the reduction of
NO3 to NO2 plus NO
