Monera
Appearance
The use of Monera to refer to one branch of the five-kingdom top-level division of living things has largely been supplanted by the term Bacteria which is now used to refer to one of the three top-level domains, the others being Archaea and Eukaryota.
In Linnaean Taxonomy Monera comprised the bacteria. It contained the Phyla :
Sub-Kingdom Archaebacteria Division Mendosicutes Phylum Methanocreatrices Phylum Halophilic and Thermoacidophilic Bacteria Sub-Kingdom Eubacteria Division Tenericutes Phylum Division Gracilicutes Phylum Spirochaetae Phylum Thiopneutes Phylum Anaerobic Phototrophic Bacteria Phylum Cyanobacteria Phylum Chloroxybacteria Phylum Nitrogen-fixing Aerobic Bacteria Phylum Pseudomonads Phylum Omnibacteria Phylum Chemoautotrophic Bacteria Phylum Myxobacteria Division Firmicutes Phylum Fermenting Bacteria Phylum Aeroendospora Phylum Micrococci Phylum Actinobacteria
