Mycoplasma are the smallest bacteria. Species within the genus Mycoplasma typically have about 0.6 million base pairs of DNA containing 460 genes (4.6 million base pairs and 4300 genes in E. coli for comparison) and the smallest are about 0.2-0.3 micro-meters in diameter. There are 110 known species of Mycoplasma and are found in many environments, including as part of the normal human flora.

This is no longer a kingdom and has been split in to two categories called Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. An example of an archaebacteia is a thermophilic. An example of an Eubacteria is the E. Coli bacteria.
The smallest living things depend on how a living thing is defined. Some biologists do not believe viruses are living organisms because there are no free living forms (all are parasitic) and because they must reply on their host for reproduction. Others believe that, despite this, they have an existence of their own separate to the host and are subject to natural selection and are therefore alive. If you accept viruses are not alive, the smallest living things would be amongst the bacteria or protists. Bacteria are single celled organisms with no cell nucleus while protists have a nucleus. Generally the bacteria are slightly smaller but their sizes overlap. If you accept that viruses are alive, the smallest group are the Parvoviruses between 18 and 26 nanometres. These are single stranded DNA viruses. 1 nm = 1/1000000000 metres or 0.000039 inches.

Nanoarchea is the name of the smallest bacteria:)

Bacteria is the smallest cell*it was in my science book*
The smallest form of germ or bacteria is known as a virus. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and can only reproduce inside a living host.
As of now, the smallest bacteria on Earth are those belonging to Mycoplasma.
The smallest organisms are bacteria.
The smallest protists are typically single-celled organisms known as picoplankton. These tiny protists can be as small as 0.2 micrometers in size, making them some of the smallest eukaryotic organisms on Earth.
A virus is typically the smallest of these three biological entities, as it is much smaller than bacteria and fungi. Viruses are even smaller than the smallest bacteria and fungi, and can only replicate inside the cells of a living host organism.
