Crenarchaeota (domain Archaea) The less derived (see APOMORPH) of the two kingdoms of the Archaea, composed principally of extreme thermophiles and psychrophiles. Members of the Crenarchaeota show a greater genetic similarity to those belonging to the domains Eucaryota and Bacteria than do those of the Euryarchaeota.
