Introduction to Monera: Kingdom Archaebacteria and Kingdom Eubacteria

2. The 6 Kingdoms

4. Is All Bacteria bad? Positive Negative
Good for human digestion and nutrients synthesis
Food production (dairy products)
Source of antibiotics
Production of vinegar from alcohol
Diseases (tetanus, strep throat, etc.)
Food spoilage
Food poisoning
Pollution of water (algal blooms)
Skin infections

5. Experiment Time

6. Monera There used to be only 5 kingdoms, now we know there are 6
The kingdom Monera was split into two kingdoms: Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
This was done because there are a few differences

7. Kingdom Archaebacteria
Prokaryotic
Unicellular
No nucleus
Heterotrophic
Have a cell wall (chemically distinct, not set)
Locomotion? What do you think?
Archaebacteria are extremophiles, they can tolerate extreme conditions

8. Kingdom Eubacteria Prokaryotic Unicellular No nucleus
Autotrophic OR heterotrophic
Cell wall made of peptidoglycan
Locomotion?
Eubacteria is all other types of bacteria and cyanobacteria (often called blue-green algae)

9. What is the difference? Are both heterotrophs?
What about cell wall components?
Main thing is, they are both prokaryotes and that is what originally had them in the same Kingdom (Monera).
