Bacteria
Definition of bacteria: a member of a large group of unicellular micro-organisms lacking organelles and an organized nucleus, including some that can cause disease.
Cell type: bacteria are unicellular (containing only one cell), but they can form colonies together.
Bacteria has two different types;
Eubacteria: This is also known as "true" bacteria. it is a bacterium of a large group typically having simple cells with rigid cell walls and often flagella for movement.
Archaebacteria: These are micro-organisms that are similar to bacteria in size and structure but different in molecular organization. In other words, eubacteria are "true" bacteria while archaebateria are just "trick" bacteria.
There are helpful bacteria??
Yes, they are bacteria that help keep the body healthy. They are often referred to as probiotic bacteria. When the word probiotic is used many people may think of yogurt, which is said to have probiotics that are quite healthy.
Some other examples are: yogurt, E.Coli, Streptomyces, Rhizobium, Lactobacillis Acidophilus
