**__Welcome to Temperate Rainforest Facts. By Erin M. Autumn T. and Noah K.__**  **__Moneran__** **Single celled organisms with no nucleus.** One type of bacteria found in the temperate rainforest soil is //streptomyces.//

A second type of bacteria is known as mycobacterium.  It gives the soil its earthy smell.     

**__Protists__ Usually single celled oragnisms with a nucleus and organelles. **        One type of protist found in the Temperate Rainforest is //Psammonobiotus communis// or //Testate amobae//, as it is known by its common name. //Psammonobiotus communis// can mainly be found in soils, leaf litter, peat bogs and in/on fresh water.   Another type of protist found in the Temperate Rainforest is protozoa. Protozoa are single-celled organisms that mainly feed on bacteria. They are found insoil everywhere and are very abundant near plat roots.
