A Breakdown of Kingdom Biology
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
Fungi and Protista

Content: Thermoacidophiles can live in environments that are both very hot and very acidic, such as deep sea vents and hot springs. You probably encounter eubacteria more often than you do archaebacteria. A diverse group of bacteria belongs to the Eubacteria kingdom. Some, like bacilli and spirilla, can lead to harmful strains of E. coli or cause unpleasant diarrhea when consumed. For this reason, eubacteria often gets a bad reputation for spreading disease. And while some do, there are also plenty of eubacteria that are essential for life on Earth. An example is cyanobacteria, sometimes referred to as blue-green algae, which many scientists believe helped convert Earth’s atmosphere from one without enough oxygen into our current oxygen-rich environment, where so many organisms can thrive. Fungi and Protista
Another kingdom of life is the Fungi kingdom. Many fungi are similar in appearance to plants, but like animals, most cannot make their own food and usually have to absorb nutrients from an outside source. You may already know that mushrooms are fungi.
