  1. Reproduction in Bacteria

  2. Conditions needed for Bacteria to reproduce • Bacteria can rapidly reproduce themselves in warm, dark, and moist conditions • Bacteria need plenty of food and the right temperature • Other conditions like space, oxygen and light must also be met

  3. How often do bacteria reproduce? • The time of reproduction depends on how desirable the conditions are • Some can reproduce every 20 minutes • (one bacteria could be an ancestor to one million bacteria in six hours)

  4. Two Types of Reproduction • asexually sexually • binary fission conjugation.

  5. Conjugation • A bridge is formed between two bacteria and genetic information in exchanged.

  6. Conjugation • Rediscovering Biology - Animation Archive

  7. Bacterial Cell & Nucleiod DNA Ring DNA replication Cell wall synthesis Binary Fission Cell separation

  8. BINARY FISSION Completed Bacteria dividing

  9. Cell Division: Binary Fission http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BinaryFissionAnimationC2.gif
