1 5 kingdom classification

2 Monera divide into 2 kingdoms: eubacteria and archaebacteria

4 Photosynthetic bacteria

5 Halophiles "salt-loving"
Halophiles can be found anywhere with a concentration of salt five times greater than the salt concentration of the ocean, such as the Great Salt Lake in Utah, Owens Lake in California, the Dead Sea, and in evaporation ponds

6 Thermophile “heat-loving”
Thermophiles are found in various geothermally heated regions of the Earth, such as hot springs like those in Yellowstone National Park (see image) and deep sea hydrothermal vents, as well as decaying plant matter, such as peat bogs and compost. Bacteria deposits stain with color

7 Methanogen “methane producing”
They are common in wetlands, where they are responsible for marsh gas, and in the guts of animals such as ruminants (hoofed animal –cows, etc.) and humans, where they are responsible for the methane content of belching in ruminants and flatulence in humans.[

8 Cyanotrophic “cyanide nourishment”
environmental problems caused by cyanide are due to the production of large amounts of cyanide-containing wastes by human industrial activities, such as production of organic nitriles, nylon and acrylic plastics, paints, dyes, drugs, chelating agents, etc., and the use of cyanide in gold mining and the metal and jewelry industries. Chemical treatments to remove cyanide are very expensive and generate products that are also toxic, so that cyanide biodegradation may be an attractive alternative treatment

9 Heterotrophic “different nourishment”
Feed off of other organisms, parasites can cause strep throat, etc. Other bacteria can be decomposers of dead plants & animals.

10 Photosynthetic Bacteria
Use sunlight to convert inorganic substances (carbon dioxide and water ) into organic (sugars)
