Table 1. THE BACTERIA, SLIME MOLD & FUNGI KINGDOMS

--Representative Families and Genera (1960-2017 Version)¹

(Contact)

The following table represents the classification of areas treated here in the Schizomycophyta, Amoebozoa and Eumycophyta. Only principal families are noted. The arrangement is that which prevailed from the latter third of the 20th Century until the present. The previous names of groups are included in parentheses, and further changes are expected as more biological and biochemical data are forthcoming. Emphasis has been placed on morphological characteristics, and comments and suggestions from specialists are gratefully welcomed.
