Robert Whitaker played an important role in classification of the micro organisms.

He trusted the cellular biology and ecology to classify the living species on their characteristics.

Initially, Whitaker believed in three kingdom system but later on increased it to 5 depending on the distinction between the prokaryotes and eurokaryots.

He conducted research on the biochemical cycles of the organisms to derive conclusion.
