In the five-kingdom classification system (proposed by R.H. Whittaker), the kingdom Monera includes all prokaryotic organisms. This primarily consists of bacteria and cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-green algae). Anabaena is a genus of filamentous cyanobacteria, and therefore belongs to the kingdom Monera. Diatoms and Euglena are eukaryotic single-celled organisms belonging to the kingdom Protista. Ulothrix is a filamentous green alga, which is eukaryotic and typically classified under the kingdom Plantae or Protista, but not Monera.
