| Home | The Kingdom Eubacteria (formerly under the Kingdom Moneran) is composed of prokaryotic organisms. Most are unicellular or colonial, meaning they are seperate but live together almost like a single organism. Eubacteria are the most numerous organisms on the planet.
Phylum Cyanobacteria: Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic aquatic eubacteria. They have a thick cell wall and lack flagella. They are commonly called blue-green algae. They are also considered the ancestors of present day chloroplasts. Phylum Spirochaete: These eubacteria have helically coiled cells. They also have flagella that allow them to move in a twisting motion. Most are anaerobic, although not all. Some cause disease. Phylum Proteobacteria: This group of eubacteria is made up of mostly anaerobic organisms. A few, however, can photosynthesize. Some are nitrogen fixating. There are species in this phylum that cause disease. Most have flagella to move around, but some can move by gliding, which means they can move by themselves. |

Escherichia Coli More commonly called E. Coli, E. Coli live in the intestines of warm blooded animals, including human beings, and are an important part of digestion. They produce vitamin k. They are also used to measure the amount of feces in a water supply, since that is their main food source. They can cause sickness, especially if it gets in the digestive tract through the mouth. A particullarly famous and nasty strain is E. Coli 0157:H7, which is a dangerous version of the bacteria that can be found in food. |
