1. Eubacteria BY: Jake King

2. Eubacteria AKA “True Bacteria” • Are prokaryotic cells(they lack a nucleus) that are very common in the daily of humans • Can be found almost anywhere and kills thousands of people each year • They serve as antibiotic producers and digest food in our stomachs • We also use them for producing drugs, wine, and cheese • Apart of the domain kingdom • Reproduce with the simple process of binary fission(divide in half)

3. Categories • Eubacteria are divided in five phylum's: Spirochetes, Chlamydias, Gram-positive bacteria, cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria

4. Characteristics • Prokaryotic cell • Lack mitochondrions or chloroplast • has a rigid cell wall composed of peptidoglycan • If there’s flagella present its made of a single filament of the protein flagellin • The cell membrane is composed of phospholipids bilayers that lack cholesterol and steroids • Asexual reproduction • Many eubacteria form spores to be resistant to dehydration, and handle most temperatures when no food is present(last up to 50 years) • Are either spirilla(spiral shaped), bacilli(rod shaped, or cocci(spherical)

5. Types of Eubacteria • Heterotrophic, Autotrophic, and Chemotrophic • Heterotroph's are able to absorb organic materials down in both living and dead organisms(can live anywhere basically, including as a parasite inside of the human body) • Autotroph’s can make their own food by photosynthesis( have a blue and green color due to chlorophyll and live in ponds, lakes and moist regions) • Chemotrophs acquire their food by breaking down inorganic matter(dead organisms)

7. Classification • Eubacteria is divided into categories based upon how they acquire nutrition

8. Binary fission • Binary fission- a method of asexual reproduction in unicellular organism by division into two daughter cells
