The second group of prokaryotes is that with which you are more familiar. The kingdom eubacteria are true bacteria. They have countless roles, including decomposition and recycling of nutrients, digestion and disease. Eubacteria are often involved in symbiotic relationships with other organisms. These are close interactions between two different species. Examples of these symbiotic relationships include the bacteria that live in our intestines and help us get the nutrients we need as well as the bacteria that fix nitrogen from the atmosphere so that plants can use it. A negative impact that bacteria have on our lives is that they are responsible for about half of all human diseases. This is because some bacteria produce toxins that can harm other organisms. Fortunately, we can use antibiotics to treat bacterial infections.
