Difference between Eubacteria and Archaebacteria

Eubacteria
Monerans can be classified into three major groups: the eubacteria (True bacteria), cyanobacteria (blue green algae) and archaebacteria (ancient bacteria). The eubacteria are the commonly encountered bacteria in soil, water and living in or on larger organisms, and include the Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
Archaebacteria: Purple Sulphur Bacteria
The archaebacteria grow in unusual environments such as salt brines, hot springs and in the ocean depths. They are a group of most primitive prokaryotes which are believed to have evolved immediately after the evolution of the first life. They are of three types:-methanogens, Halophiles and thermoacidophilies.
