you gotta say that acytinomyces are bacteria— Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.227.176.70 (talk • contribs)

You say that all microbes other than bacteria are eukaryotes this is not correct - you have missed a whole domain - the Archaea

Also agree with above comments, the actinomyces need to be grouped with bacteria. They are clearly not fungi.

Farming can destroy soil's rhiziobiome (microbial ecosystem) by using soil amendments such as fertilizer and pesticide without compensating for their effects. By contrast, healthy soil can increase fertility in multiple ways, including supplying nutrients such as nitrogen and protecting against pests and disease, while reducing the need fo ???
