Moneran Kingdom Monerans are the dominent and most successful life forms of all. There are countless species and exist everywhere. All the organisms in the Moneran Kingdom are single celled and have no nucleus. Some produce their food and others have primitive ways of catching their food.

Burkholderia caryophylli
Bacilli shaped //﻿Burkholderia caryophylli// resides in plants. It can only enter through cuts and gashes on the plants surface. It then colonizes in the vascular system of the plants roots.

// Klebsiella pneumoniae //

Bacilli shaped //Klebsiella// are located almost everywhere around the world it. Usually found in humans it can also be found in soil water and plants.

= ﻿Protist Kingdom = Protists are single celled organisms with a nucleus and organelles that either hunt for their food or produce it through photosynthesis. They do not have the characteristics of the other kingdoms. The Protist Kingdom consists Protozoans and Algae.

Protozoan: Protozoan's have no cell walls and do not contain chlorophyl //Plasmodium// //falciparum// Usually //Plasmodium// //falciparum// resides in tropical areas but can be found all around the world //Plasmodium// //falciparumis// are the cause of the most dangerous type of milaria though not as common as other milaria spreaders.



Algae:
A single celled organism with a nucleus that contains chlorophyl and produces its food through photosynthesis.
