6 Kingdoms
Archaebacteria
- Methanobrevibacter smithii : common and import microbe found in the human gut that helps us digest complex suga
rs better and coverts co2 to methane
- Haloquadratum walsbyi: square-shaped archeaons that resides and can be found in extremely salty environments and uses energy from the sun in the photosynthesis process. They have gas-filled sacs that allow them to float
Eubacteria:
- Clostridium botulinum: rod-shaped bacteria are found in low-oxygen conditions (mainly under marine sediments) because oxygen is poisonous for them. They form spores to survive. Clostridium botu
linum causes botulism (when the nervous system is paralyzed by neurotoxins produced by the bacterium). Causes food poisoning
- Helicobacter pylori: helix-shape
d, found in the gastrointestinal tracts of 50% of people in the world and is in 80% of stomach ulcers. Heliobacter pylori is found mostly in countries with poor sanitation.
Protists
- Ameoba Naegleria fowleri. : this specific type of amoeba is the only one that causes human disease. It survives in very warm water like lakes, ponds, rivers, untreated swimming pools, spas,
well water, and muncipal water. They crawl/swim around looking for food and sometimes accidentally infect humans and take the brain tissue as food.
- Protozoa Paramecium caudatum: animal-like, some can be parasitic which means they damage other organ
isms to survive. They live in water and soil and can live in extreme environments, both high or low temperature
Animalia
- Panthera tigris: largest cat species and have recognizable pattern of dark vertical stripes that are reddish orange fur, sharp teeth . Extre
mely endangered
- Balaenoptera musculus: largest animal to have ever existed on the planet, and are the fastest swimmers. Their voice is the deepest of any animals and live for 80-90 years. They eat 6-7 tons of krill per day
Fungi
- Neurospora: produces bakery
mold or red bread mold
- Basidiomycota: large phylum of fungi which includes jelly, shelf fungi, mushrooms, puffballs, and stinkgorms, some yeasts. Most reproduce sexually with a club-s
haped spore organs.
Plantae
- Phylum bryophyta (Moss) : distribu
ted throughout the world except in salt water and commonly found in moist, shady locations. Helps in soil erosion control by providing surface cover and absorbing water.
- Araucaria araucana (Evergreen Tree): native to Argentina and Chile and their leaves are thick, tough, and s
cale-like.
