Kingdom Monera:
It is very surprising to know that bacteria alone occupy a complete kingdom in the hierarchy of living organisms. They are the omnipresent organisms of the living world. We can find bacteria almost everywhere. This property can be owed to the fact that bacteria have a wide range of variety and many of them are adapted to survive in extreme environmental conditions. A large number of bacteria also live on other organisms as parasites.

Bacteria can be classified into four major types based on their shape:
Coccus – Spherical shaped
Bacillus – rod-shaped
Vibrium – comma-shaped
Spirillium – spiral-shaped
As far as the mode of nutrition of bacteria is concerned, some of them are autotrophic while rest of them are heterotrophic.
