All organisms of this group are assumed to be descendent from a common ancestor, the so called progenote and the organisms are primitive, cellular with a rudimentary not well coordinated translation apparatus. The unique feature is in the cell membrane structure. The membrane lipids are glycerol isopronyl ethers due [...]
