n. a large group of bacteria having rigid cell walls; motile types have flagella [syn: eubacteria, true bacteria]
Wikipedia
Eubacterium could be either a Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria genus in the family Eubacteriaceae. These bacteria are characterised by a rigid cell wall. They may either be motile or non-motile. If motile, they have a flagellum. A typical flagellum consists of a basal body, filament, and hook. The long filament is the organ which helps eubacteria move.
Gram-positive bacteria have a thick proteoglycan layer and uptake violet gram-stain (whereas gram-negative bacteria have a thinner proteoglycan layer which is surrounded by a layer of immune-response-inducing lipopolysaccharide, and do not uptake gram-stain). Species from this genus have been isolated from women with bacterial vaginosis.

The Martian organisms must be something else again, as different from the eubacteria and archaebacteria as those two great lineages are from each other.
After all, we share much of our genome with eubacteria, even though the evolutionary divergence between the eubacteria and archaebacteria occurred very soon after the origin of life on Earth.
Perhaps the arrival of an advanced form of Martian life on Earth caused some kind of evolutionary pressure that initiated the split between eubacteria and archaebacteria.
Martian organisms have some property that drove the split between eubacteria and archaebacteria.
