Description Archaea are mostly unexplored and distinct class of
microorganism with unique features and are commonly
encountered in extreme environments They are
phylogenetically more similar to eukarya than bacteria.
Achaeal
membrane lacks peptidoglycan but have
different membrane lipid bonding Archaeal lipid lacks
the fatty acid found in bacteria and eukaryotes and
instead have side chains composed of repeating units of
isoprene.
They
are key players of ocean biogeochemical cycles and
potential source of novel natural products including
chemicals and biomolecules.
The
present study attempted isolation and
characterization of a halophilic archaeon from a solar
saltern situated at Manaikkudi Village in Nagercoil
District, Tamil Nadu
