[Archaebacteria and phylogeny of organisms]
Abstract
The determination of the sequence similarity of the ribosomal 16S RNA of many bacteria and a few higher organisms has shown that the methanogenic, halophilic, and acido-thermophilic organisms are phylogenetically separated from the kingdoms of the Eubacteria and Eukaryotes thus representing a third kingdom called "Archaebacteria". Many biochemical and molecular biological features support this conclusion.
