Most bacteria and fungi are not known as producers because they do not produce their food in processes like photosynthesis. Cynanobacteria are a type of bacteria that conducts photosynthesis which is why they are producers. Many forms of bacteria carry out chemosynthesis which makes them producers. Some fungi are called radioatrophs which also make them producers. Yet for the most part plants are producers.
