Korarchaeota

Korarchaeota is a group of ancient microorganisms within the domain Archaea, which are single-celled organisms distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes. They thrive in extreme environments like hot springs and hydrothermal vents, often at high temperatures and acidity levels. Although they are not well-studied, Korarchaeota are believed to play vital roles in their ecosystems, particularly in geothermal habitats, and hold clues to early life on Earth. Their unique genetics and adaptations make them important for understanding microbial diversity and the evolution of life under extreme conditions.
