• Bacteria Are Microscopic

•They Are Prokaryotic

•All Bacteria Are Unicellular

•Different Bacteria May Be Different Shapes

•Not Capable of Meiosis or Mitosis

•No Nucleus

•Contains One Circular Chromosome and Plasmids

•Shapes Include Spirals (1), Rods (2), and Spheres (3)

Reproduction

Binary Fission: One Form of Reproduction

Steps (Process Asexual)• Copies Chromosome

• Original Chromosome Stays Attached To Plasma Membrane Temporarily

• Cell Grows In Size

• 2 Chromosomes Separate and Move To Opposite Ends of The Cell

• Partition Forms Between Chromosomes

• Partition Splits making 2 identical cells

Sexual Reproduction

A.K.A Conjugation

Steps

• Bacteria Transfer All or Part of Chromosome To Another Cell

• A Sex Pilus Is A Link Between The Two Cells and Through it DNA is Transferred

• Cells Created From This Process Will Have A Different Genetic Composition Than The Original Cell

• New cell Duplicate Through Binary Fission

Obtaining Energy

• Not All bacteria feed in the same way

• Some are autotrophic• Some use photosynthesis• Others are chemotrophic• Also many species of

heterotrophs• Bacteria often responsible

fore breaking down dead organisms

• Also found in human bodyE. coli Bacteria

Bacterial Diseases

• Strep Throat• Tuberculosis• Tetanus• Lyme Disease• Dental Cavities• Cholera

Importance of Bacteria

• Not all bacteria cause disease

• Most species are useful

• Can be used to for fertilization, recycling nutrients on Earth, production of food and medicines
