- Archaebacteria: considered ancient life forms that evolved separately from bacteria and blue-green algae
- The Archaea are a group of single-celled microorganisms. A single individual or species from this domain is called an archaeon (sometimes spelled "archeon"). They have no cell nucleus or any other membrane organelles within their cells. ...
- Any primitive bacteria-like organism in the kingdom Archaea
- (ARCHAEBACTERIA) an ancient line of bacteria, including the methanogenic, halophilic and thermoacidophilic groups found in hot springs and sea-floor vents; their ribosomes are distinctive, and they also differ from eubacteria (q.v.) in their ribosomal RNA, wall chemistry, and lipids.
- (Archaebacteria) Ancient (over 3.5 billion years old) group of prokaryotes; some biologists want to place this group into a separate Kingdom, the Archaea. Most currently place it within the Kingdom Monera.
- (Archaebacteria) halophiles (salt), methanogens (methane-producers), thermoacidophiles (hot and acidic).
- (archaebacteria) One of two major groups of prokaryotes; many species of archaebacteria live in extreme conditions similar to those prevalent on primitive Earth.
- (archaebacteria) the kingdom of prokaryotic cells, excluding eubacteria (considered as a separate domain in certain classification schemes), which is alleged to be ancestral to eubacteria by some evolutionists
