Naming and Classifying
Organisms
 For any organism identified, a Scientific
Name is given.
In this way every scientist and other
people from different places would use
the same name for the same organisms.
 Binomial system of classification.
- the way of naming organisms is referred
to as the.

Scientific names are in the Latin

language and are italicized.
Early studies of organisms resulted to
only two – kingdom classification.
Later, with the invention of the
microscope and with more evidences
gathered about different forms of life,
various scientist proposed three, to four,
then five and later to six or even eight
–kingdom classification.
Here, are the six – kingdom classification
will be used namely:

1.Archaebacteria (Archae)
2.Eubacteria
3.Protist (Protista)
4.Fungi
5.Plant (Plantae)
6.Animal (Animalia)
Archaea Domain: Kingdom Archaebacteria

 Organisms that belong to this

kingdom are all microscopic.

 They live in various places,

some even in the most severe
environments.
Archaea Domain: Kingdom Archaebacteria

1. Methanogens

2. Halophiles

3. Thermophiles
Archaea Domain: Kingdom Archaebacteria
1. Methanogens

 Methanogens can survive in places where there is no

oxygen.

 Some members of these group inhibits digestive

tracts of animals and ponds, where animal, human
and domestic waste are treated
Archaea Domain: Kingdom Archaebacteria
1. Methanogens

 Methanogens are also present on bottoms of lakes,

swamps and rice fields.

 An important characteristic of this group is they

produce methane gas. If you live near paddies and
swamps the bubbles that pop at the water surface is
methane.
1. Methanobacterium rumnantum
-From cow stomach under going division.
2. Methanosperillum hungatei.
- From waste treatment ponds
Methane is utilized as biogas, a cheap alternative
source of energy.

There are already communities and industries

which obtain energy for their lighting and cooking
fuel needs from the biogas technology.

2. Halophiles

 If you live in areas which make salt, have you

observed the orange or yellow color in salt ponds?
 These is due to the presence of halophiles.
 These archaebacteria are adopted to very salty
invironments.
2. Halophiles
 Examples are;
Halococcus dombrowski and Halobacterium salinarium
3. Thermophiles
 These group of archaebacteria can live in places with
high temperature. These areas include volcanic hot
springs with temperature from 80 ͦ to 110 ͦC.

 They also inhabit the small deep sea openings where

hot water with temperature higher than 250 ͦC come
out.
3. Thermophiles
 Thermophiles can turn hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
release from these openings to food for another
organisms and in turm are provided essential
nutrients by the former

 They also inhabit the small deep sea openings where

hot water with temperature higher than 250 ͦC come
out.
Pyrodictum occultum
Pyrococcus furiosus
 Some members of the archaebacteria also survive
acidic and even cold environment.
