Prokaryotes
- A single-celled creature without a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles is known as a prokaryote.
- Prokaryotes are grouped into two domains in the three-domain approach based on molecular analysis:
- Bacteria (previously Eubacteria) and Archaea (formerly Archaebacteria).
- Prokaryotes are assumed to have evolved before eukaryotes in the study of life's origins.
- Following are examples of prokaryotes:
- E.coli (Escherichia Coli Bacterium)
- Corynebacterium diphtheriae
- Bacillus anthracis
- Bacillus cereus
