Scientific Names:
 * The top bacteria is called the //Borrelia// //burgdorferi//. The bacteria is a spirochete the causes Lyme disease. It the most common tick disease in the United States. This is a spiral shaped bacteria. It is most likely to be found in North America and Europe. Also, the //Borrelia burgdorferi// stays on temperate rain forest small mammals and birds. For example, it stays on white-footed mouse and white-tailed deer.**

//Kingdom: Bacteria Phylum: Spirochaetes Class: Spriochaetes Order: Spirochaetales Family: Spirochaetaceae Genus: Borrelia// //species: burgdorferi// This is a rhizobia bacteria. It is a kind of bacilli shaped bacteria. The scientific name for this is //Rhizobium leguminosarum// //.// They are located in temperate rain forest soil that mostly occur in North America.

//Kingdom: Bacteria Phylum: Proteobacteria Class: Alphaproteobacteria Order: Rhizobiales Family: Rhizobaceae Genus: Rhizobium species: leguminosarum//

**Protists: ** They are single celled and multi celled. This organism is in the kingdom of Protista. Some produce and some hunt for food. They also have a nucleus. Protozoan: The definition of a protozoan is that they live as single celled organisms. They are "animal like". Also, protozoans have no cell walls, and no chlorophyll. The first protist is the euglena. The scientific name is //Euglena gracilis,// and the common name is the euglena//.// It is located in warm areas, like the temperate rain forest. That way, it can reproduce and start splitting into two. To be more specific, the euglena is located in some birds, salamanders, and frogs. Also, they live in polluted water, and then washed away. Later, it stays in the mud.

//Pediastrum boryanum// is the second Protist. This is an algae. Pediastrum Boryanum is usually found near the water. About and average of 10 meters from sea level. The scientific name is //Pediastrum boryanum//. No common name was found. Algae: They are a large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms.

**Fungi:** A fungus is multi-celled. It has no chlorophyll, and it absorbs nutrients.

//Glomeromycota:// The //Glomeromycota// forms arbuscular mycorrhizas with the roots of land plants. In other words, arbuscular mycorrhizas are fungi that help plants to get nutrients from the soil.
