I recently found out about Archaea.
The Archaea (/ɑrˈkiːə/ (
listen) ar-kee-ə) are a group of single-celled microorganisms. A single individual or species from this domain is called an archaeon(sometimes spelled “archeon”). They have no cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles within their cells.
Archaea are now recognized as a major part of Earth’s life and may play roles in both the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle.
Archaea is being packaged and marketed by Jobe’s (easy gardening) fertilizers as BioZome, but has industrial uses as well as a soil amendment.
