Study Notes
Kingdom 1: Monera
- Unicellular organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic
- Prokaryotic cells without distinct nucleus or cell organelles
- Can be observed under a high power compound microscope using a sample of curd or buttermilk
Kingdom 2: Protista
- Single-celled organisms with a 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)
- Examples of motile microbes can be observed in pond water under a microscope
Kingdom 3: Fungi
- Can be observed growing on a moist piece of bread or bhakri as a fine cotton thread-like tuft
- Can be studied under a microscope using a temporary mount of fungal threads
- Fungi can be grown in a controlled environment
Institutional Work
- National Institute of Virology, Pune is involved in research on viruses
- Founded in 1952 under the Indian Council of Medical Research
