Detailed explanation-1: -Euryarchaeota is the largest phylum of the Archaea domain. There are five major groups of euryarchaeotes, which differ with respect to their physiology and ecology: methanogens, halophiles, thermoplasms, extremely thermophilic S metabolizers, and sulfate-reducing microorganisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -All known methanogens are members of the archaeal phylum Euryarchaeota.
Detailed explanation-3: -Domain Eubacteria includes the true bacteria. It is the largest domain that includes a large group of organisms. What is eubacterial cell type? Eubacteria-as well as archaebacteria-are prokaryotes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Methanogens are distinguished from bacteria and archaea that may produce methane as a byproduct of metabolism by their obligate need to synthesize methane to conserve energy using the Wolfe Cycle [8]. By this distinction, all known methanogens, to date, belong to the euryarchaeal domain.
