The use of Monera to refer to one branch of the five kingdom top-level division of living things has largely been supplanted by the term Bacteria which is now used to refer to one of the three top-level domains, the others being Archaea and Eukaryota.

In Linnaean Taxonomy Monera comprised the bacteria. It contained the Phyla :

     Sub-Kingdom Archaebacteria
        Division Mendosicutes
           Phylum Methanocreatrices?
           Phylum [Halophilic and Thermoacidophilic Bacteria]?
     Sub-Kingdom Eubacteria
        Division Tenericutes
           Phylum Aphragmabacteria?
        Division Gracilicutes
           Phylum Spirochaetae?
           Phylum Thiopneutes?
           Phylum [Anaerobic Phototrophic Bacteria]?
           Phylum Cyanobacteria?
           Phylum Chloroxybacteria?
           Phylum [Nitrogen-fixing Aerobic Bacteria]?
           Phylum Pseudomonads?
           Phylum Omnibacteria?
           Phylum [Chemoautotrophic Bacteria]?
           Phylum Myxobacteria?
           (8 more)
        Division Firmicutes
           Phylum [Fermenting Bacteria]?
           Phylum Aeroendospora?
