This document discusses different types of bacteria. It describes archaebacteria and eubacteria as the two main groups of bacteria. Archaebacteria emerged over 3.5 billion years ago and live in extreme environments like heat and acid. They differ from eubacteria in their cell structures and ribosomal RNA. Eubacteria are more commonly known as bacteria and usually live in neutral environments like the human body. While some eubacteria can cause illnesses, others play beneficial roles like aiding digestion and breaking down waste.
