title: Archaebacteria: their phylogenetic relationship with the eubacterial and eukaryotic kingdoms.
abstract: In microbiology the discovery of archaebacteria ten years ago has wrought a profound change in the concepts of physiology, taxonomy, ecology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and phylogeny. This review offers a concise summary of the state of the art in this field with special reference to taxonomy and ecology as well as to the different methodologies used to study the phylogeny of this unusual group of microorganisms that question many well established biological concepts.
