Bacteria - Interesting Facts

Bacteria are prokaryotes, or single-celled organisms that do not have a nucleus.

• Bacteria exist everywhere: in the air, water, soil, and in your body.
• There are 3 basic shapes of bacteria: coccus (spheres), bacillus (rods), and spirillum (spirals).
• Most bacteria reproduce by binary fission, each one splitting into two new, identical cells.
• In the right conditions, a bacteria population can double in 20 minutes! 

Bacteria Slides

Use Carolina’s bacteria slides to teach about the morphology and important functions of bacteria! Highlight the important roles that bacteria play in the processes of nutrient cycling and decomposition, as well as the importance of identifying the different types of bacteria that enable doctors to accurately diagnose bacterial infections. Students become engaged as they view familiar types of bacteria in your lab such as Escherichia, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Listeria, and Clostridium.
