1. Taryne, Shelby, Rachel, and Alanna

2. Phylogenetic tree

3. Clostridium botulinum

4. Characteristics
 Depending on species - nutrition intake may be by
absorption, photosynthesis, or chemosynthesis.
 Asexual reproduction
 Shape:
 Round or Spherical or Oval Shaped: Ex. Micrococcus, Streptococcus
and Sarcina
 Rod Shaped: Ex. Lactobacillus, Bacillus and Pseudomonas
 Spiral or Comma Shaped: Ex. Vibrio, Camphilovextor and
Triponema

5. Characteristics cont.
 General structure
 Rigid cell wall to hold in organelles: made up of amino
acids and a sugar chain
 Some have a cell membrane outside cell wall
 No nucleus
 Cell walls contain peptidoglycan

6. PHYLA
 The Eubacteria kingdom consists of the phyla :
• Cyanobacteria
• Spirochaete
• Proteobacteria

7. Cyanobacteria
 Photosynthetic- contain chlorophyll pigment
 Found in ocean and on land
 Thick cell wall and no flagella
 Commonly called blue-green algae
 Considered the ancestors of present day chloroplasts
 Grow in colonies
 Can manufacture their own food through
photosynthesis

8. Spirochaete
• Helically coiled cells
• Flagella allow movement in a twisting motion
• Most are anaerobic
• Some may cause dangerous diseases

9. Proteobacteria
 Mostly anaerobic organisms
 Some can photosynthesize
 Some are nitrogen fixating
 Most have flagella but those who don’t move by gliding
 Some can be helpful while others cause disease
E.Coli

16. Eubacteria vs. Archaebacteria
 Archaebacteria:
 “ancient bacteria”.
 Live in extreme environments (such as deep sea volcanic
vents) while eubacteria live in more common
environments.
 Archaebacteria cell walls also don’t contain
peptidoglycan while those of eubacteria do.

17. Eubacteria vs. Protists
 Protists:
 Eubacteria are Prokaryotes and have no nuclear
membrane. Protists are Eukaryotes and have a nuclear
membrane.
 Protists need water while Eubacteria are able to survive
almost anywhere
 Eubacteria can only reproduce asexually while protists
can reproduce either sexually or asexually.

18. Eubacteria vs. fungi and plantae
 Fungi:
 Fungi are multicellular while eubacteria are unicellular
 Fungi are eukaryotic and eubacteria are prokaryotic
 Fungi reproduce by spores and eubacteria reproduce by
binary fission
 Plantae:
 Plants are eukaryotic, multicellular and have a cell wall
made of cellulose
 Eubacteria are prokaryotic, unicellular and have a cell
wall containing peptidoglycan

19. Eubacteria vs. Animalia
 Animalia:
 Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic, and reproduce
sexually.
 Eubacteria are unicellular, prokaryotic and reproduce
asexually (binary fission).

20. Assessment Questions
 What is the major difference between Eubacteria and
Archaebacteria?
 What are the 3 major phyla of the Eubacteria
kingdom?
 What are the 3 possible shapes of eubacteria?
 What is the shape of the eubacteria Actinomycetales?
 What is the difference between how Fungi reproduce
and how eubacteria reproduce?
