Bacteria
Single-celled microorganisms whose cells lack a nucleus. Bacteria comprise a major domain of life called prokaryotes. In contrast, the cells in eukaryotes have a well-defined nucleus; eukarya include molds, plants, and animals. Another major domain is called archaea, microorganisms with genetic features distinct from prokarya and eukarya. Most methane-producing bacteria are actually archaea, but for simplicity many biologists informally refer to all non-eukaryotes as "bacteria. "
