Bacteria are the most abundant species on earth. Their total number cannot be exactly known, but estimate puts it at around 5 x 1030. There could be as many as one billion species. A link can be found below to the study and its results.

Bacteria are not a species of life. They are a domain, which is the broadest classification of life. The most abundant domain on Earth is certainly bacteria and the most abundant species on Earth is likely a particular species of bacteria.

Bacteria are the most abundant organism on earth. There are trillions of bacterial cells on you right now. In fact, due to the very small size of bacterial cells (compared to human cells), you have fewer cells than there are bacteria living on you (and in you).What_is_the_most_abundant_species_on_earth
