Biology 11- 6 Kingdoms

Archaebacteria:

Euryarchaeota

Euryarchaeota is part of the four phyla of archaea. They are varied and have methanogens. Methanogens create methane and can be found in intestines, halobacteria and thermochimie aerobes and anaerobes. Euryarchaeota are different from other archaeans because of their rRNA sequence.

Thaumarchaeota

Thaumarchaeota were first proposed to be a phylum of the Archaea in 2008. It was discovered to be different from other members of it’s original group, the hyperthermophilic phylum Crenarchaeota so it was moved. Thaumarchaeota are probably the primary producers of vitamin B12. Because of this, thaumarchaeota are important to phytoplankton, atmospheric carbon dioxide and DNA generation as well as organism development.

Eubacteria:

Spirochaete

Spirochaete is a flexible bacterium shaped like a spiral that can cause syphilis. In nature, they are chemoheterotrophic and can be 3 to 500 µm in length and 0.09 to about 3 µm in diameter. They are different from other bacteria because of the location of their flagella which are between the bacterial inner membrane and outer membrane lengthwise.

Proteobacteria

Proteobacteria is an important part of gram-negative bacteria. They have a lot of different pathogens, like Salmonella. Some are non-parasitic and several of the bacteria which cause nitrogen fixation are included in that. Carl Woese created the group in 1987 and he called it “purple bacteria and their relatives.”

Protists:

Plasmodium Vivax

Plasmodium Vivax are protozoan parasites as well as human pathogens. It is a primary cause of malaria and one of the five types of malaria parasites that infect people the most. People infected with Plasmodium Vivax malaria can cause serious disease or even death most likely because of it enlargening the spleen. It can be carried and passed on by female Mosquitos.

Eimeria Stiedae

Eimeria Stiedae is a type of Eimeria which is the cause of hepatic coccidiosis that can be found in rabbits.

Fungi:

Zygomycota

There are roughly 1050 known species of zygomycota and mainly live on land. They live in soil or on decaying plants and animal material while others are parasites on plants, bugs and smaller animals. Some even create symbiotic relationships with plants.

Chytridiomycota

Chytridiomycota is a division between zoosporic organisms. The name comes from the Greek word Chytridion and describes the structure that holds unreleased zoospores.

Animalia:

Arthropods

An arthropod is any invertebrate animal that has an exoskeleton, segmented body and paired jointed appendages. They create the phylum Euarthropoda. An animal is considered an arthropod if it has jointed linmbs and cuticle made of chitin.

Molluscs

Molluscs are the biggest marine phylum and includes about 23% of marine organisms. Several types of molluscs live in freshwater and on land as well. Some molluscs, like squid, are the most neurologically advanced invertebrates.

Plantae:

Orchids

Orchids are a varying and large family of flowering plants. Their flowers are normally colourful and fragrant. Orchids are one of the two biggest families of flowering plants, having about 28,000 acknowledged species.

Moss

Moss is a small plant that has no flowers and normally grows in thick green clumps. Moss prefers damp and shady areas. Each plant is typically formed by leaves that are attached to a stem that’s either branched or unbranched and has a small role in collecting water and nutrients.
