taxonomic kingdom that comprises the prokaryotes (bacteriabacteria

[mə′nir·ə] (biology) A kingdom that includes the bacteria and blue-green algae in some classification schemes.

Monera

 [mo-ne´rah] in the classification of living organisms, a kingdom comprising all unicellular organisms that lack true nuclei (the prokaryote), including principally the bacteria. Formerly called Procaryotae.

Mo·ne·ra

(mō-nē'ră), The prokaryotes, a kingdom of primitive microbial organisms characterized by having no defined nucleus or chromosomes; DNA that is not membrane bound; and absence of centrioles, mitotic spindle, microtubules, and mitochondria; division of the ill-defined nuclear zone (nucleoid) is by separation of two masses attached to parts of the cell membrane, then growing apart (a form of amitosis). Monera includes the blue-green algae and bacteria; viruses, which lack a true cell, may have originated as "escaped nucleic acids" or "wild genes" from eukaryotic cells and are not included. [pl. of Mod. L. moneron, fr. G. monērēs, solitary]

Monera

the kingdom that, in older classifications, contains all prokaryotes.
