Acidoarchaeota

Acidoarchaeota is a group within the domain Archaea, which are microscopic organisms separate from bacteria and eukaryotes. They are often found in extreme environments with high acidity and low nutrients, such as acidic hot springs or volcanic areas. Acidoarchaeota play important roles in Earth's ecosystems by participating in chemical processes like breaking down minerals and contributing to nutrient cycles. While not as well-known as other microbes, studying them helps scientists understand life's adaptability and the basic processes sustaining ecosystems in harsh conditions.
