Great Salt Lake, UT - The Great Salt Lake, second Picture above is of the hot springs in in salinity only to the Dead Sea, was believed to be Yellowstone Park - Archaebacteria as 'dead' until very recently. However, halophilic microorganisms strive in environments having developed mechanisms to endure high salt concentrations, dessication and constant UV radiation. B. Kingdom Eubacteria 1. Cell Type - Prokaryotic 2. Cell Structure - Cell wall made up of peptidoglycan; DNA, cell membrane, cytosol, & ribosomes present 3. Body Form - All Unicellular 4. Nutrition Mostly heterotrophic; some are autotrophic (photosynthetic – or chemosynthetic) Other characteristics Most common bacteria. They are ubiquitous – means they are found everywhere. Very important decomposers. Some are pathogenic, but most are harmless. Examples - decomposers, E.coli, Streptococcus sp, Staphylococcus sp, Salmonella sp C. Kingdom Protista 1. Cell Type - Eukaryotic 2. Cell Structure May have cell wall; may have chloroplasts; may be – motile and have cilia or flagella. 3. Body Form Mostly unicellular; may be multicellular – 4.
