Summary Introduction
Archaeal and bacterial cells varies in size ranging from 0.2 µm to >700 µm in diameter. Cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane are considered as the most vital structures of a cell. The wide range of cell wall structures, including wall made up of proteins, glycoproteins, polysaccharides is seen in Archaea.
