Brief Notes:
Habitat and size of bacteria:
Bacteria (/bækˈtɪəriə/ ( listen); singular: bacterium) are a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms.
Bacteria are found everywhwere. - even on you !
Approximately 2,000 species have been identified, many of them living in conditions that would destroy other organisms.
They have been found in the almost airless reaches of the upper atmosphere,
10 km (6 mi) below the surface of the ocean, in frozen soil, and on rocks in hot springs.
Some bacteria produce a resting stage, the endospore, which is the most resistant living thing
known and can be killed only by boiling in steam under pressure for many hours.
Size of bacteria:
Thirty trillion bacteria of average size weigh about 28 g (1 oz). Bacteria are measured in microns (0.001 micrometer, about 0.00004 in) and most types range from 0.1 to 4.0 microns in width and 0.2 to 50 microns in length.
2. Classification of bacteria on the basis of shapes:
Content: Teaching Outlines.
Bacteria are neither plant nor animal. Both bacteria and plants have rigid cell walls, but unlike plants,
most kinds of bacteria move about and use organic foods for energy and growth; only a few use photosynthesis.
On the basis of their shapes,bacteria may be grouped into three main type;
