Here are 20 examples of unicellular organisms:
- Amoeba: A type of protozoan that moves by extending its pseudopodia
- Euglena: A type of flagellated protozoan that is photosynthetic and can also feed heterotrophically .
- Paramecium: A type of ciliate protozoan that is covered in cilia and feeds on bacteria and other small organisms.
- Plasmodium: A type of parasitic protozoan that causes malaria in humans .
- Salmonella: A type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning in humans.
- Protozoans: A diverse group of unicellular eukaryotic organisms that include amoebas, ciliates, and flagellates.
- Fungi: Some fungi, such as yeasts, are unicellular.
- Algae: Some types of algae, such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, are unicellular.
- Bacteria: Most bacteria are unicellular and are classified into two main groups: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
- Archaea: Archaea are unicellular prokaryotic organisms that are found in extreme environments such as hot springs and deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
- Cyanobacteria: Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria that can be unicellular or form colonies
- Heliozoa: Heliozoa are a type of protozoan that have radiating pseudopodia and are found in freshwater and marine environments
- Radiolarians: Radiolarians are a type of protozoan that have intricate mineral skeletons and are found in marine environments
- Diatoms: Diatoms are a type of unicellular algae that have intricate silica shells and are found in freshwater and marine environments

- Dinoflagellates: Dinoflagellates are a type of unicellular algae that have two flagella and can be photosynthetic or heterotrophic
- Ciliates: Ciliates are a type of protozoan that have hair-like cilia for movement and feeding
- Yeast: Yeast is a type of fungus that is used in baking, brewing, and winemaking
- Mycoplasma: Mycoplasma is a type of bacteria that lacks a cell wall and can cause respiratory infections in humans .
- Chlamydia trachomatis: Chlamydia trachomatis is a type of bacteria that can cause sexually transmitted infections in humans .
