The following article will guide you to find out how does bacteria reproduce. Asexual reproduction is characteristic of all bacteria. Sexual reproduction was long thought to be absent but investigations with the help of electron microscope have clearly demonstrated the exchange of genetic material in some species of bacteria. This is an essential feature of the sexual process and is [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on bacterial motility. Some bacteria are self-motile. They are able to swim through the liquid in which they live. They cannot crawl over dry surfaces or fly through the air. Motility is universal among the spirilla, common among the bacilli but lacking or rare in coccal forms. The organs of locomotion are [...]
In this article we will discuss about the structure of bacterial cell. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of bacterial cell. Bacteria are unicellular organisms. The unicell is exceedingly small in size. Little structural detail can be made out in such a small body with an ordinary light microscope. The use of an electron microscope [...]
