Content: Scientists actually believe that members of the archaebacteria kingdom were among the first life forms on Earth billions of years ago. These species lack cell structure and their genetic material is not contained inside of a nucleus. The cells of archaebacteria are called prokaryotes. Archaebacteria are known to be found in extreme environments including those that are very hot, those with no oxygen, and those that are highly acidic. Archaebacteria are separated from eubacteria because their cell structure is so different. Introduction to Archaebacteria
Description of Archaebacteria
Eubacteria The eubacteria kingdom (Eubacterium in Latin) is made up of single-celled organisms and just like the archaebacteria, the species in this kingdom are lacking a nuclear membrane. The species within this kingdom vary as some have the ability to make their own food and others must find their food. Eubacteria can reproduce very quickly by dividing in two. Depending on the species of eubacteria, they can be beneficial or harmful to humans and other organisms. Some examples of species within the eubacteria kingdom include Streptococci, which causes strep throat, as well as the bacteria that produces yogurt and some types of vitamins.
