[Molecular biology of archaebacteria].
In the process of phylogenetic studies, based on the comparative analysis of sequences of 16S (18S) rRNA, C. Woese and collaborators discovered that some microorganisms, which previously had been described as bacteria, form a group named archaebacteria, differing from other bacteria as well as from eukaryotes to the same extent as the latter differ from each other. A review of the work leading to that result, as well as characteristics of archaebacteria with emphasis on their biochemistry and molecular biology, is presented.
