Eubacteria.


Eubacteria is the second kingdom of life following Archaebacteria.Eubacteria is unicellularand prokaryotic. Most of these bacteria use oxygen but there are a few that are completely aerobic and together with Archaebacteria they make the largest group of organisms on earth.

Three main phyla-

1. Heterotrophs- This type of bacteria is found almost everywhere. For energy they need organic molecules but they are not adapted to trapping food that contains the organic molecules. So some live as parasites and others live as saprobes to help the enviroment.

2.Autotrophs- this type of bacteria is photosynthetic autotroph.It makes its own food through photosynthesis.Most are a blue green color and are often called the blue-green bacteria. They are commonly found in ponds, lakes,streams and moist areas of land.

3.Chemotrophs- the third phylum for Eubacteria is chemosynthetic autotrophs. These bacteria get energy from breaking down non living matter. Some of these bacteria are actually important. They help convert nitrogen into the atmosphere to form that plants can use.

Here is an Example-

Salmonella. The enviromental sources of this organism are water, soil, insects, factory surfaces, kitchen surfaces, animal feces, raw meats, raw poultry, and raw seafoods. These are just a few of many other places it is found.It is a rod saped and and motile bacterium but there are a few nonmotile organisms of this disease. There are many sympoms of this disease such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, minal diarrhea, fever, and headache. The cause of this disease is the passage of Salmonella from gut lumen into epithelium of small intestine where inflammation occurs.
