Microbial Diversity In this licture. we will discuss the microbial diversity. specifically bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. We will delve into their characteristic, differences of similianties. Bacteria, are unicellular prokaryotic organisms that are abundant and diverse. They are known for their role in various ecological proceses cycling decomposition, Such as nutrient and symbiosis. Bacteria Vany in size and shape, and their call walls are made up of peptidoglycan. Archaea, are another group of unicellular prokaryotic organisms that are distinct from bacteria. They are offen fortind in extreme environments such as hot springs and salt pleats. They do not have glycan in thoir cell walls, and instead have peptidoglycan lipids. unique lipids. metabolic Archaica pathways, and also have distinct Some are ma thane gas. capable of producting noiteibya noid Eukarya, are more complex orgonisms that are largur than bacteria and archara. They are characterized by having membrane bound organelles and a nucleus containing their gentic material. Eukarya include on Variety of organisms such as plant animals, fungi, protists
