This phylum includes all bacteria not just those that live on your skin. Some examples are blue green bacteria (cyanobacteria), Clostridium(gram positive), Bacillus (rod shaped gram postitive), Streptococcus (spherical gram positive), Staphylococcus(spherical gram positive). Spirochetes are also part of this phylum they are bacteria like organisms with a spiral body shape.

It is the classification for Bacteria

Phylum is a term used by biologists which means a group (ie a heading under which to put things of the same category).

Schizomycophyta is the grouping for bacteria.

A well known example from the Phylum Schizomycophyta would be Salmonella.

Phylum Schizomycophyta - All of the bacteria fall into this category. Example: Phylum cyanophyta (Blue-Green algae). They reproduce by binary fission, and can have various methods of nutrition, such as chemosynthesis, photosynthesis, or by absorption. there key role are decomposers, that can be used by living organisms to recycle the chemicals of nature. They convert nitrogen in the air into usable forms (nitrogen fixing bacteria). They aid in digestion in certain organisms (including man). They also cause disease & spoil food. There commercial uses are; forming cheese,making vinegar, making butter and buttermilk.

hope this is enough info for you?

Nope. Excluding Archaebacteria and blue-green algae, all bacteria are found within the phylum schizomycophyta. Within the kingdom Monera, there are the subkingdoms Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. Within Eubacteria there are the phylums Cyanophyta and Schizomycophyta.

Hope this helps.

Most bacteria may be placed into one of three groups based on their response to gaseous oxygen. Aerobic bacteria thrive in the presence of oxygen and require it for their continued growth and existence. Other bacteria are anaerobic, and cannot tolerate gaseous oxygen, such as those bacteria which live in deep underwater sediments, or those which cause bacterial food poisoning. The third group are the facultative anaerobes, which prefer growing in the presence of oxygen, but can continue to grow without it.

Bacteria may also be classified both by the mode by which they obtain their energy. Classified by the source of their energy, bacteria fall into two categories: heterotrophs and autotrophs. Heterotrophs derive energy from breaking down complex organic compounds that they must take in from the environment -- this includes saprobic bacteria found in decaying material, as well as those that rely on fermentation or respiration.

The other group, the autotrophs, fix carbon dioxide to make their own food source; this may be fueled by light energy (photoautotrophic), or by oxidation of nitrogen, sulfur, or other elements (chemoautotrophic). While chemoautotrophs are uncommon, photoautotrophs are common and quite diverse. They include the cyanobacteria, green sulfur bacteria, purple sulfur bacteria, and purple nonsulfur bacteria. The sulfur bacteria are particularly interesting, since they use hydrogen sulfide as hydrogen donor, instead of water like most other photosynthetic organisms, including cyanobacteria.

A bacteria that lives on your skin.
If it is consumed it may cause food poisoning etc, and if it gets under skin it can cause minor infections.
