Eubacteria or true bacteria or monera

Kingdom Information


The kingdom name is Eubacteria which is also its scientific name. They are also called true bacteria or monera.

There are different sorts of bacteria and they each get their food in a different way. Some of them are producers. Producers change the energy they get from sunlight into energy which the cells can use. Other bacteria are decomposers. Decomposers get their energy by breaking down materials in dead or rotting organisms. They can also be parasites; these bacteria live on or in other organisms and get their food from them.

Eubacteria cells are prokaryotic because they don’t have a nucleus or organelles.

Eubacteria cells are unicellular organisms because they only consist of one cell.







Species Information
1) An example of eubacteria is the blue green algae with the scientific name cyanobacteria.

Interesting facts:

1) Blue green algae already exist for more than 3 billion years. They are the biggest group of photosynthetic bacteria. They live in shallow waters all over the world.

2) They produce energy (oxygen) through photosynthesis, and they contain chlorophyll. Blue green algae are important for the environment because they give the animals the oxygen they need to stay alive.

Blue green algae are unicellular prokaryotic cells which are very small. They do have a cell membrane, cell wall and DNA, but they don’t have a nucleus. It is classified in the eubacteria kingdom because it is a unicellular, prokaryotic organism. They are producers (photosynthetic bacteria).



2) Another example of eubacteria is Salmonella with its scientific name Salmonella typhi.

Interesting facts:

1) Salmonella bacteria give health problems like typhoid and food poisoning. Food poisoning will make you very ill and can even kill you. These bacteria can be found in raw meat and eggs. That’s why it is important to cook your food.

2) These Salmonella bacteria are rod shaped and. Rod shaped bacteria are called bacilli.

The Salmonella bacteria belong to the Eubacteria kingdom because they are unicellular, prokaryotic cells which are very small. They are rod-shaped, have a cell wall and contain DNA but have no nucleus and other organelles. They are classified in the Eubacteria kingdom because they are unicellular, prokaryotic organisms. They are consumers (decomposers).
