Moneran/Prokaryotic Organism Subclassification
All members of these groups are prokaryotic. The Archaee differ from the Eubacteria in that Archaea have introns, cell membrane
lipids with ether binds rather than ester bonds between glycerol and fatty acids, lack peptidoglycan (cell wall polymer) which
eubacteria have, and have histones in their DNA. Archaea share features of histones and introns with eukaryotes, and are believed
to be more closely related to eukaryotes than the eubacteria are.

Alpha
Proteobacteria (gram -) (from
purple photosynthetic
ancestor)
Eubacteria
Beta
Bordatella (pertussis), Neisseria (meningitis),
Salmonella, E. coli, Yersinia (plague), some
Pseudomonas (mostly plant parasites)
Gamma
Enterobactor (, Haemophilus, Legionella,
Pasteurella, Vibrio, some Pseudomonas
Delta
Bdellovibrio (parasite on other gram - bacteria)
Epsilon
Helicobacter (human ulcers)
human sexually-transmitted intracellular
parasites
human sexually-transmitted syphilis
blue-green bacteria, commonly mixed with algae
in ponds
Chlamydias
Spirochetes
Cyanobacteria
Gram+ bacteria
Archaea
Species
Agrobacterium, Brucella (disease in humans and
cattle), corn mitochondrion, rickettsias (rocky
mountain spotted fever)
strep and staph bacteria that are ubiquitous on
human skin and foods; peptidoglycan walls
Korarchaeotes
thermophiles
live in hot springs environments
live in extreme salt environments - salt brine
areas and anaerobic areas of ungulate gut
systems
Euryarchaeotes
halophiles
Crenarchaeotes
thermo and non-thermophiles
hot springs and extremely cold environments
Nanoarchaeotes
extremely small archaeans
only 400 nm in diameter, live on other archaens
attached to their cell walls; have extremely small
genomes
