Kingdom Bacteria, also referred to as Eubacteria, encompasses unicellular prokaryotic organisms that lack a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. These organisms have a simple cellular structure, with genetic material organized in a single circular chromosome located in the nucleoid region. Bacteria are characterized by diverse metabolic pathways, allowing them to inhabit various environments, including extreme conditions. They reproduce primarily through binary fission and play critical roles in nutrient cycling, environmental processes, and interactions with other organisms, both beneficial and pathogenic.

Members of Kingdom Bacteria are characterized by:

  • They lack a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
  • Most bacteria have a rigid cell wall made primarily of peptidoglycan, which distinguishes them from archaea.
  • Bacteria exhibit a wide range of metabolic pathways, allowing them to thrive in various environments. They can be autotrophic (producing their own food) or heterotrophic (relying on other organisms for nutrition)

Kingdom Bacteria plays a crucial role in various ecological processes, including nutrient cycling, decomposition, and as symbionts in many organisms. Their vast diversity allows them to inhabit nearly every environment on Earth, from soil and water to extreme conditions like hot springs and deep-sea vents.
