Bacteria
What are bacteria?
Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms
that required food, moisture and warmth to
multiply. Bacteria can be found everywhere:
In food, air, water, live organism, soil and
decay organic materials. All bacteria exist in
a vegetative state. Vegetative cells grow,
reproduce and produce wastes just like other
living organisms. Some bacteria have the
ability to form spores.
