IMPORTANCE OF ARCHAEA
Archaea are a source of enzymes commonly added to detergents to
maintain activity at high temperatures and pH.
Archaea provide the major routes for ammonia oxidation in the
environment.
Archean has become a source of enzymes used as the basis for DNA
amplification in a technique called the polymerase chain reaction.
