Monera

The use of Monera to refer to one branch of the five-kingdom top-level division of living things has largely been supplanted by the term Bacteria which is now used to refer to one of the three top-level domains, the others being Archaea and Eukaryota.

In Linnaean Taxonomy Monera comprised the bacteria. It contained the Phyla :

 Sub-Kingdom Archaebacteria
    Division Mendosicutes
       Phylum Methanocreatrices?
       Phylum [Halophilic and Thermoacidophilic Bacteria]?
 Sub-Kingdom Eubacteria
    Division Tenericutes
       Phylum 
    Division Gracilicutes
       Phylum Spirochaetae?
       Phylum Thiopneutes?
       Phylum [Anaerobic Phototrophic Bacteria]?
       Phylum Cyanobacteria?
       Phylum Chloroxybacteria?
       Phylum [Nitrogen-fixing Aerobic Bacteria]?
       Phylum Pseudomonads?
       Phylum Omnibacteria?
       Phylum [Chemoautotrophic Bacteria]?
       Phylum Myxobacteria?

    Division Firmicutes
       Phylum [Fermenting Bacteria]?
       Phylum Aeroendospora?
       Phylum Micrococci?
       Phylum Actinobacteria?
