Lakes+Facts

​ Welcome to Lakes Facts! By Gabby K. and Samantha R.  ​ Monara: Monerans are sigle-celled organisms that do not have a nucleus, and live in a variety of biomes. //Escherichia coli://  E. coli are bacilli shaped (rod shaped). They can be found in the sand of Great Bear Lake.

// Vibrio cholerae: //

Bacilli shaped (rod shaped)

They are mostly found in Estuarine or freshwater enviroments



Protist: Protists are a single or multi-celled organism that has a nucleus. They can be protozoan or algae.  Protozoan: Protozoa are "animal-like" organisms that do not have a cell wall, or chlorophyll.

They are found in both fresh water and marine environments. <span style="color: #ffd52e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">
