Archaeon

A single archaeal prokaryotic cell depicted as a small rounded, oval, slightly irregular, or subtly polygonal coccoid microbe with a smooth outer envelope and faint surface texture. The cell is colored in muted orange, tan, pale purple, pinkish, reddish, or gold tones to distinguish it from a typical bacterium. Its interior is simple and lacks a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles, containing pale or sparse cytoplasm with a faint loosely coiled or tangled nucleoid region and scattered tiny ribosome-like dots. The overall form should appear slightly unusual or geometric compared with a standard bacterial cell.
