Bacteria
2. Reproduction asexual by fission (simple cell division, divide into
two equal sizes (every 20 min.) Sexual by conjugation 3. Physiology Autotrophic, parasitic, saprophytic (live on dead
organisms) Aerobic (use oxygen) and anaerobic (don’t use
oxygen4. Where do they live? EVERYWHERE

Bacteria are found in Geyser Hot Springs
Black Rock Desert,
Nevada.
Temperatures just below boiling - colors are the result of various bacterial colonies.

Amputations are common
Can be lethal if not treated

Bacteria release toxins that directly kill tissue
![Page 22: Bacteria 1.Structure: all microscopic, unicellular or colonial Prokaryotic (lack true nucleus)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051517/56649f185503460f94c2f55f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Although rare, the bacteria can be found almost everywhere - once infected tissue loss is rapid
Shock and death are possible
