Temperate+Deciduous+Facts

= **__ ​​​ Temperate Deciduous Facts__** = Emma K. & Miah S. __Kingdom Monera__ Monerans are single-celled organisms that do not have a nucleus. Here are just two of the many different types of Monerans that can be found in a temperate deciduous forest. ==

__//Rhizobium leguminosarum//__ One type of Moneran that can be found in the temperate deciduous forest is the //Rhizobium// //leguminosarum//. //Rhizobium leguminosa//// r um// has a rod shape. // This bacteria lives in the roots of shrubs, trees, and certain plants, like legumes. //

//__

**Bacillus subtilis**   __// Known either as the hay bacillus or grass bacillus, //Bacillus subtilis// is commonly found in soil. A member of the genus Bacillus, //Bacillus subtilis// is rod-shaped, and has the ability to form a hard, protective shield, which allows the organism to tolerate extreme environmental conditions.



=__ Kingdom Protista __=  Protists have a nucleus and organelles and can be either single-celled or multicellular. You can find many different types of protists in the temperate deciduous forest. // __ Physarum polycephalum __ // //Physarum polycephalum//, also known as the many-headed-slime, is a type of slime mold that lives in cool, shady areas, such as decaying trees and leaves. //Physarum polycephalum// is a certain type of protist, a protozoan, which means that its cells have no cell walls (they just have a cell membrane) or chlorophyll, and the cells are "animal-like".


= = =//__Trentepohlia abietina__// =

**// Trentepohlia abietina // is commonly on rocks, walls, tree bark and, on leaf surfaces mostly in Britain. //Trentepohlia abietina// is a type of algae. Algae is a type of protist that is "plant-like", meaning that its cells have cell walls and chlorophyll. This allows it to make its own food. **
