Kingdom Archaea
• Live in extremely harsh
environments such as:
a. hotspring
b. volcanic vents
c. sewage treatment plants
d. environments with high
salt contents
Thermophiles
Methanogens
Halophiles
•This organisms are “Heat –
lover”
• Live in very hot temperature.
- usually in 100 °C
Thermophiles
•Are anaerobic archaeans that
releases methane gas
utilized as
BIOGAS
Methanogens
• Thrive in extremely salty env’t
such as salt lakes and
evaporating ponds.
• They can withstand 15-30%
salinity of water.
Halophiles
Kingdom Eubacteria
• also known as “True bacteria”.
• they are usually unicellular and
microscopic
• their cell wall is made up of
peptidoglycan
• can be found in: a. water b. soil
c. air
3 Types Of Bacteria
According To Shapes.
COCCI
(circle)
BACILLI
(rod-shape)
SPIRILLA
(spiral-shape)
2 Types of Bacteria
according to uses:
1. Non-pathogens (Good Bacteria)
- help in digestion
- they decompose dead cells
2. Pathogens (Bad Bacteria)
- they secrete toxins.
- they cause infections.
(pimples, diarrhea, sore
throat, tonsillitis)
Kingdom Protista
3 Groups of Protist:
1. Algae
2. Dinoflagellates
3. Euglena
1. Algae
- Types:
a. Green Algae
uses: source of food
(ex: pukpuklo)
b. Brown Algae (Largest)
uses: - use to make ice
cream
- use to make candy
- use to make
cosmetic products
c. Red Algae
uses: - sources of agar
(gulaman)
2. Dinoflagellates
- they cause Red Tide
* “DO NOT EAT SEA
CLAMS AND FISHES DURING
RED TIDE”
3. Euglena
- Amoeba
(cause Amoebiasis)
* Amoeba is present in
ground water.
