Content: They have no nucleus or membrane bound organelles. They reproduce asexually, but do not produce spores as seen in eubacteria. Eubacteria or "true bacteria" evolved independently from Archaea from an ancient common ancestor. They are involved in processes such as decompositon, the nitrogen cycle, make up a huge amount of biomass on Earth, allow for fermentation of foods like cheese and wine, cause diseases and live in and on other organisms. They have no nucleus and very rarely have membrane bound organelles. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team
