 CHARACTERISTICS OF MONERA
The Monerans are unicellular organisms.

They contain 70S ribosomes.

The DNA is naked and is not bound by a nuclear

membrane.

It lacks organelles like mitochondria, lysosomes,

plastids, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum,
centrosome, etc.

They reproduce asexually by binary fission or

budding.

The cell wall is rigid and made up of

peptidoglycan.

Flagellum serves as the locomotory organ.

These are environmental decomposers

They show different modes of nutrition such as

autotrophic, parasitic, heterotrophic, or
saprophytic.

EXAMPLES OF MUNERA
Examples of members of the monera kingdom
are the various bacteria known to mankind, such
as:

Escherichia coli: A gram-negative bacillus that

often parasitizes the human digestive tract.
Clostridium tetani: A very common bacterium in
the soil and in the digestive tract of animals,
which can causetetanus, a lethal disease,in

humans when it enters the bloodstream .
Plantoea stewartii: Bacterium that affects plants,
especially different types of corn , commonly
fought in North American crops.
NUTRITION OF MONERA
How does Monera feed? Monera break down
the dead matter and food in our digestive
system. They can also prepare their own food,
but bacteria feed on dead matter.
