Gram Negative
Habitat:
Eubacteria live almost everywhere in the world. They occupy soil, the earth's crust, and even living creatures.
Evolutionary Milestones:
Helped start the phylogenetic tree, as they are nearly as old as archaea. Though to be the ancestor of all living things. Their true milestone is being Eukaryotic.
Anatomical Structure:
-Contains a thin lipopolysaccharide exterior cell wall
-Four supporting rings if flagellum is present
-There are lipoproteins
Eating and Retreating:
Eubacteria can be heterotrophic, autotrophic, or chemotrophic. They consume the high-energy, carbon products of other living organisms. Others use inorganic compounds such as hydrogen gas. They are eaten by fungi and some other bacteria.
Symmetry:
N/A
Mobility:
Some move by flagellum or the surrounding environment.
Reproduction:
Asexually reproduce through binary fission. The difference between eubacteria and archaea is that eubacteria can remain dormant in spores for years.
Development:
As with archaea, eubacteria do not have stages of development, as they are born fully matured adult cells.
Examples:
-Neisseria gonorrhoeae
-Neisseria meningitidis
-Moraxella catarrhalis
Other Information:
-Eubacteria are found in every type of habitat on Earth
-Cell walls made of lipopolysaccharide also
-Bacterial metabolism is more complex than eukaryotic
