Regards, Wong My understanding is that neither fungi nor bacteria fall into the plant or animal kingdoms in a five kingdoms naming system, (they each would reside in separate kingdoms). In a three divisions naming system, plants, animals and fungi would be described as belonging to the same domain. Regards. if you go by the microbiologists, I believe they go with 3 kingdoms (superkingdoms ?), two kinds of bacteria and everything else, based on genetic studies. But if you go with biologists (according to _Five Kingdoms: An Ilustrated Guide to the Phyla of Life on Earth_, 3rd ed. 1998, Margulis, Lynn and Karlene V. Schwartz), the five kingdoms are bacteria, protists, animals, fungi and plants. (I have no idea if the book has any currency with real biologists and I certainly am not one.) |
