Kingdom Monera
====**Monerans- Monerans have no nucleus, and are single-celled organisms, this includes bacteria, and cyanobacteria. ** ====  There are many various types of bacteria found in the Monera kingdom. One bacterium found in onions that grow in moist grasslands is called //Pseudomonas syrangae.// Its common name is Pseudomonas leek blight. Another bacterium called //Xanthomonas campestris// is found in wheat that is grown in grasslands. This bacterium causes a variety of plant diseases. Its common name is Bacterial leaf streak, Black chaff, and/or Bacterial stripe.  //Pseudomonas syrangae// is found in onions that grow in moist prairies. //Xanthomonas campestris// is found in wheat that is grown in grasslands. ====<span style="color: rgb(16,31,224); background-color: rgb(6,234,24);"><span style="color: rgb(0,255,8); background-color: rgb(32,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(10,103,214); background-color: rgb(62,230,30);"><span style="color: rgb(251,250,55); background-color: rgb(245,53,0);"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Kingdom Protista      <span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(5,209,12); background-color: rgb(2,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(5,9,230);"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(8,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(8,29,226);"><span style="color: rgb(40,12,212); background-color: rgb(24,228,1);"><span style="color: rgb(240,12,0);"><span style="color: rgb(17,0,255); background-color: rgb(255,0,185);"><span style="color: rgb(16,31,224); background-color: rgb(6,234,24);"><span style="color: rgb(0,255,8); background-color: rgb(32,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(10,103,214); background-color: rgb(62,230,30);"><span style="color: rgb(251,250,55); background-color: rgb(245,53,0);"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">**__Protists-__** Protists have a nucleus and organelles.

This fungi is a small to medium-sized reddish wax cap with a covering of tiny scales. There is often a narrow yellow margin to the cap. Found in grasslands, fixed dunes, open coniferous plantations and heaths. The toadstool is common and widespread in the UK and is their most common wax cap on acid soils. The small scarlet wax caps have been much confused in the past and older records should be treated with caution.
