- Title
A reminder--peptidoglycan cell walls indeed occur in the archaeal domain, specifically in the members of Methanobacteria and Methanopyri classes.

- Abstract
This article addresses the misconception that archaea lack peptidoglycan cell walls, specifically in the Methanobacteria and Methanopyri classes. The misunderstanding arose from a misinterpretation of the cell wall structure of methanogens. The recognition of peptidoglycan in archaea has important implications for various fields, such as environmental detection, antibiotic development, and genetics and cell biology research. The article emphasizes the need to correct this misconception and highlights the potential applications of studying archaeal peptidoglycan. The document is a list of references cited in an article about archaea, covering their cell envelopes, diversity, ecology, evolution, and adaptations to different environments. These references provide a comprehensive overview of current knowledge and research on archaea, making them a valuable resource for library patrons conducting research on this topic.
