Methanobacteriati (formerly "Euryarchaeota", from Ancient Greek εὐρύς eurús, "broad, wide") is a kingdom of archaea.[4] Methanobacteriati are highly diverse and include methanogens, which produce methane and are often found in intestines; halobacteria, which survive extreme concentrations of salt; and some extremely thermophilic aerobes and anaerobes, which generally live at temperatures between 41 and 122 °C. They are separated from the other archaeans based mainly on rRNA sequences and their unique DNA polymerase.[5] The only validly published name for this group under the Prokaryotic Code is Methanobacteriati.[6]
