The Lenous specific system.
IE Kingdom Phulm Class order family genus species
This method is pure based on descriptions of the organism. Ie it has fins and gills it must be a fish.

The Boston classification system
Classify organism by what type of genetic information they use and how they reproduce. ie. ssRNA, dsRNA, ssDNA, dsDNA. This was used to classify very simple organisms and virus which may only contain a few genes. It is the method that the CDC prefers because it focuses on how best to control the spread of organisms.

The Genomic Method to Classify organisms by the conservation of proteins in their genome. This is the method that NCBI uses on their website. It better then the other two and tries to distinguish evolutionary relationship.

You are going to get many different answers according to how we interpret the question.

Organisms are classified according to:
1. similarities in internal and external anatomy, including cellular anatomy
2. biochemical similarities, especially DNA and proteins
3. similarities in geographical range

Bacteria can be found in the stomach, the mouth, vents in the ocean, on a counter top, etc. Most bacteria that live in the deep ocean vents are members of Archaebacteria. Endospores are dormant alternate life forms produced by the genus Bacillus, the genus Clostridium, and several other genera of bacteria including Desulfotomaculum, Sporosarcina, Sporolactobacillus, Oscillospira, and Thermoactinomyces. When these bacteria encounter a hostile environment, they can form endospores. An endospore is a small, round, thick-walled structure that houses the bacteria's genetic materials. An endospore is not a reproductive structure but rather a resistant, dormant survival form of the organism. Endospores are quite resistant to high temperatures (including boiling), most disinfectants, low energy radiation, drying, etc. The endospore can survive possibly thousands of years until a variety of environmental stimuli trigger germination, allowing outgrowth of a single vegetative bacterium. Bacterial endospores (def) are resistant to antibiotics, most disinfectants, and physical agents such as radiation, boiling, and drying. Although harmless themselves until they germinate, they are involved in the transmission of some diseases to humans. Infections transmitted to humans by endospores include: anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis; tetanus, caused by Clostridium tetani; botulism, caused by Clostridium botulinum; and gas gangrene, caused by Clostridium perfringens). Thus, endospores have allowed some bacteria to be successful despite exposure to hostile environments. Binary fission is the process by which a bacteria splits into two cells. Each cell gets an exact copy of the parent cell's genetic material. BINARY FISSION is the form of asexual reproduction and cell division used by prokaryotic organisms (such as bacteria). A prokaryotic cell by divides into two parts, and each half has the potential to grow to the size of the original cell. Bacterial CONJUGATION is the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through direct cell-to-cell contact. Conjugation is a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer—as are transformation and transduction—although these mechanisms do not involve cell-to-cell contact. Bacterial conjugation is often incorrectly regarded as the bacterial equivalent of sexual reproduction or mating. It is not actually sexual, as it does not involve the fusing of gametes and the creation of a zygote, nor is there equal exchange of genetic material. It is merely the transfer of genetic information from a donor cell to a recipient. The genetic information transferred is often beneficial to the recipient cell. Benefits may include antibiotic resistance, other xenobiotic tolerance, or the ability to utilize a new metabolite. Such beneficial plasmids may be considered bacterial endosymbionts. Some conjugative elements may also be viewed as genetic parasites on the bacterium, and conjugation as a mechanism was evolved by the mobile element to spread itself into new hosts. Similarities: they are both a simple form of reproduction. They both involve multiplying by cytoplasmic and nuclear division. Differences: see description above

1 - first classify all living organisms on the basis of cell they are made up of whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
2 - we can further divide them in unicellular or multicellular.
3 -then on the basis of mode of nutrition ie autotrops(mostly plants some bacteriya also) and heterotrops(mostly all animals)

one celled and multi-celled, plants/fungi/ferns/animals/ procaryotes [the five basic categories], autotrophic or heterotrophic way of eating[ex: autotrophic: making organic food from unorganic things {photosythesis}, heterotrophic : consuming already organic materials {humans for example}]
