Here
we
shall
consider
in
brief
prokaryotes
other
than
eubacteria.
These
are
chiefly
archaebacteria,
mollicutes,
(mycoplasmas
or
PPLO),
L-forms,
mycobacteria,
myxobacteria,
rickettsiae
and
chlamydiae.
Archaebacteria
These
bacteria
differ
from
true
bacteria
(eubacteria)
in
respect
of
organisation
and
chemical
composition
of
their
cell
wall
and
cell
membrane.
Their
16s
rRNA
molecules
also
differ
from
other
bacteria
and
ribosomes
are
insensitive
to
chloramphenicol.
They
are
also
unique
in
inhabiting
extreme
environments.
