KINGDOM MONERA
Consist mainly of eubacteriaand blue-green algae or cyanobacteria
They tend to live together in clumps, chains or planes
EUBACTERIA They are heterotropic organisms
They are named according to their shape
EUBACTERIA1. COCCUS
- round or sperical
2. SPIRILLUM- spiral or helical shape
3. BACILLUS- rod-shape
COCCUS
SPIRILLUM
BACCILUS
STAPHYLOCOCCI
Form irregular clusters of spericalcells
STREPTOCOCCI
Form a long chain
CYANOBACTERIA
They are autotrophic organisms
They are commonly found in fresh water or marine environments and on land
Their cell walls are made up of peptidoglycan, which is poisonous to grazers
CYANOBACTERIA
Can exists as unicellular, colonial or filamentous
Some cyanobacteria can fix nitrogen because of heterocyst, thick walled cells which contain the enzyme nitrogenase used to convert nitrogen gas to ammonia
