Bacteria    

Bacteria  constitute  a  large  domain  or  kingdom  of  prokaryotic  microorganisms.  Typically  a  few  micrometres  in  length,  bacteria  have  a  wide  range  of  shapes,  ranging  from  spheres  to  rods  and  spirals.  Bacteria  were  among  the  first  life  forms  to  appear  on  Earth,  and  are  present  in  most  habitats  on  the  planet.  Bacteria  inhabit  soil,  water,  

acidic  hot  springs,  radioactive  waste,    and  the  deep  portions  of  Earth's  crust.  Bacteria  also  live  in  plants  and  animals.
