So, bacteria are good in many was as it is also bad, bacteria is a member of a large unicellular microorganisms that have cell walls but they lack organelles and an organized nucleus, including some that can cause disease. Bacteria is found everywhere, in the air, soil, water, and inside your body …show more content…
Bacteria reproduce when one cell splits into two cells through a process called binary fission. Fission occurs rapidly in as little as 20 minutes and under perfect conditions a single bacterium could grow into over as one billion bacteria in only 10 hours. The growth of bacteria is the orderly increase of all the chemical constituents of the bacteria. Multiplication is the consequence of growth as well as nutrients in growth media must contain all the elements necessary for the synthesis of new organisms. While different types of bacterium have varying diets; they all require nutrients to provide energy. Energy is necessary to fuel work inside the cell. Many bacteria use the carbon, nitrogen, phosphors or sulfur from their nutrient source to produce energy these elements are broken down during cellular respiration to make a coenzyme called adenosine triphosphate, which transports the chemical energy to places within the cell that is consuming energy. Some bacteria get their energy from sunlight using unique Metabolomics methods. Some scientist who grew bacteria in a laboratory use consented growth media containing readily available curbany nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus along with many vitamins and minerals .They choose different media depending on the preference of the bacterium they wish to
