Carl woese divide bacteria into archae and eu bacteria . What exactly were they?
@blues
Archae are just prokaryotes, while the other type of bacteria class are eukaryotes.
We no longer hold the classification of cells by evolutionary-relatedness with prokarya and eukarya (prokaryotes or eukaryotes). The word eukaryotic means “true nucleus” (from the Greek eu, true, and karyon, kernel, here referring to the nucleus), and the word prokaryotic means “before nucleus” (from the Greek pro, before), reflecting the fact that prokaryotic cells evolved before eukaryotic cells. (Campbell Biology, 9th ed.) Based on the pioneering ribosomal RNA sequencing work of Carl Woese, Ralph Wolfe, and coworkers, we now recognize that the group traditionally called the prokaryotes actually includes two widely divergent groups—the bacteria and the archaea, which are as different from each other.
