Eubacteria can be present anywhere and everywhere. They can grow and flourish very fast. Following are some of the facts about eubacteria which help you to understand this living organism more closely.
They can survive in extreme conditions like in the areas of volcanic activities.
They are considered as plants because of the presence of chlorophyll.
Some eubacteria are considered as helpful bacteria. For instance, lactobacillus helps in the formation of curd. This eubacteria is rod shaped and is beneficial for human health. Apart from this, there are many which help in the making cheese and pickles.
Nitrogen fixing eubacteria helps in the process of nitrogen fixation which helps in maintaining the appropriate nitrogen level in the atmosphere.
They live in raw meat, raw milk, human intestine, sewage water, etc.
Eubacteria derive nutrition from three major sources, viz. sunlight, organic and inorganic components.
Some eubacteria are harmful and can cause meningitis, cholera, typhus, lyme’s, salmonellosis, tetanus, tuberculosis, etc.
Some of the eubacteria examples are Bacillus anthracis, Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium tetani, etc.
These bacteria can be classified into three main phyla and the characteristic features of each species can be differentiated on the bases of these categories. They are as follows.
Cyanobacteria Phyla: This category has those bacteria which contain chlorophyll pigment. They can make their own food and are found in both land and ocean. They lack flagella.
Spirochetes Phyla: This category consists of bacteria which move in a twisting motion. They have flagella which help them move. Some of these eubacteria may cause dangerous diseases.
Proteotic Bacteria Phyla: This phylum consists of bacteria which can move either with the help of their flagella or by gliding. Most of the eubacteria are anaerobic under this category. Some are helpful while some can cause serious diseases.
