Archaea

Oh, one more thing! The current politically correct term for what you call Archaebacteria is simply Archaea. Recently, a few archaea have been sequenced, and perhaps suprisingly turn out to be a lot more closely related to eukaryota than anyone had expected. Accordingly, it was thought pertinent to drop the "bacteria" from archaea, since they appear to have little in common with the "real" bacteria.
CU!
