Do Archarebacteria have a cell wall?

Yes, they certainly do have a cell wall

but it doesn’t contain peptidoglycan

Archaebacteria live under extreme conditions such as hot springs or salt lakes. They have an independent evolutionary history. This type of organism is in the three-domain system and in the six-kingdom domain. "archaea possess genes and several metabolic pathways that are more closely related to those of eukaryotes.". Archae reproduce asexually by binary fission, fragmentation or budding. They do not form spores. They are said to be apart of earth's life. They take part in the carbon and nitrogen cycle.

Provide the general characteristics

Archaebacteria are a group of single-celled microorganisms. A single individual or species from this domain is called an archaeon. They have no cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles within their cells. Archaea and bacteria are quite similar in size and shape, although a few archaea have very unusual shapes. Archaea possess genes and several metabolic pathways that are more closely related to those of eukaryotes.

Fun fact

a group of microorganisms, including the methanogens and certain halophiles and thermoacidophiles, that have RNA sequences, coenzymes, and a cell wall composition that are different from all

other organisms:considered to be an ancient form of life that evolved separately from the bacteria and blue-green algae.
