KINGDOM MONERA
 Consist mainly of eubacteria
and 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
EUBACTERIA
1. COCCUS
- round or sperical
2. SPIRILLUM
- spiral or helical shape
3. BACILLUS
- rod-shape
COCCUS
SPIRILLUM
BACCILUS
STAPHYLOCOCCI
 Form irregular
clusters of sperical
cells
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
CYANOBACTERIA
