Growth and ReproductionGrowth and Reproduction
Bacteria reproduce Bacteria reproduce in three different in three different waysways
1. Binary Fission – 1. Binary Fission – bacteria double in bacteria double in size, double DNA size, double DNA and divide in half and divide in half (asexual (asexual reproduction)reproduction)
Growth and ReproductionGrowth and Reproduction
2. Conjugation – a 2. Conjugation – a hollow bridge hollow bridge forms between two forms between two bacteria cells and bacteria cells and they exchange they exchange genetic genetic information information (sexual (sexual reproduction)reproduction)
Growth and ReproductionGrowth and Reproduction 3. Spore formation – when 3. Spore formation – when
conditions are bad, bacteria form conditions are bad, bacteria form endospores which lay dormant until endospores which lay dormant until conditions get better for growth.conditions get better for growth.
