*Growth and Reproduction
• *Some bacteria can divide every 20 minutes
– If there were unlimited resources, 1 bacteria could grow
into a mass 4000 times the mass of earth in just 48
hours!!!
What is the role of bacteria in our world? List

Made up of cells
Have DNA
Grow and develop
Use energy
Homeostasis
Reproduction
SMART
1) Binary Fission
• Binary Fission:
– Asexual reproduction where organism replicates
DNA and divides in half
– Produces two identical daughter cells
Reproduction
Binary fission
2) Conjugation
• Conjugation: (“bacterial sex”)
– Sexual reproduction where organism exchange
genetic information

Importance of Bacteria
Decomposers
• Break down things into simpler materials and
release into the soil
• *Help breakdown sewage treatment water
Nitrogen Fixers
• Converting nitrogen gas into a form plants can
use
– Allows nitrogen to cycle through biosphere
Other Uses
• E. coli in our intestines
– Make vitamins that we cannot make
• Oil digestion
Archaebacteria!
Archaea
• Lack peptidoglycan walls and have different
membrane lipids than Eubacteria
• DNA sequences are closer to Eukaryotes than
Bacteria
Extremophiles
• Extremophiles:
– Live in extreme environments!
Halophilic: salt loving
Thermophilic: heat loving
