BACTERIA

Bacteria are **single-celled microorganisms** that belong to the domain of prokaryotes, which means they have cells that lack a true nucleus and other organelles. They are incredibly diverse, existing in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be found in virtually every environment on Earth, from soil to water to the human body.


Here are some key characteristics of bacteria:

-Cell Structure: Bacteria have a simple cell structure without a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is contained in a single, circular DNA strand located in a region called the nucleoid¹.

- Cell Wall: Most bacteria have a strong cell wall made of peptidoglycan, which provides shape and protection.Certain bacteria possess an extra coating on their exterior known as a capsule.


Shapes: The three main shapes of bacteria are cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped).

- Reproduction: Bacteria typically reproduce asexually through binary fission, where one cell divides into two identical daughter cells¹.

- Metabolism: They exhibit a wide range of metabolic types, adapting to different environments by altering their method of energy acquisition².

- **Beneficial and Harmful**: While some bacteria are pathogenic and can cause diseases, many are beneficial and play crucial roles in processes like fermentation, decomposition, and nitrogen fixation².


Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth and are essential to many of Earth's ecosystems, as well as human health and industry.-------------------- --
