Study Notes
Kingdom 1: Monera
- Monera includes all types of bacteria and blue green algae.
- Lactobacilli bacteria are rod-like microbes that can be observed under a compound microscope in a mixture of curd or buttermilk and water.
- Characteristics of Monera:
- Unicellular organisms
- Can be autotrophic or heterotrophic
- Prokaryotic cells without distinct nucleus or cell organelles
Kingdom 2: Protista
- Protista are single-celled organisms that can be observed in pond water under a microscope.
- Amoebae are motile microbes with irregular shape that can be found in pond water.
- Characteristics of Protista:
- Single-celled organisms with well-defined nucleus enclosed in a nuclear membrane
- Have pseudopodia, hair-like cilia, or whip-like flagella for locomotion
- Can be autotrophic (e.g. Euglena, Volvox) or heterotrophic (e.g. Amoeba, Paramoecium)
Kingdom 3: Fungi
- Fungi grow as fine cotton thread-like tufts on moist bread or bhakri after 2-3 days.
- National Institute of Virology, Pune, founded in 1952, conducts research on fungi.
