Reproduction In
Bacteria
INTRODUCTION:
Bacteria small in size and most successful microbes
 Bacteria are prokaryotes so they reproduce differently
then simple eukaryotes as mitosis and Mieosis
Reproduction
Production of single parent cell to two daughter cells called
Reproduction

Types

 Bacteria reproduction occurred by following

 A sexual
 Sexual
Asexual Reproduction
 Budding
 Conidia
 Binary fission
 Cyst formation
 Endospore Formation
Sexual Reproduction
Bacteria not reproduce sexually but they exchange their genome by A
sex pillus.
 Transformation
 Conjugation
 Transduction

Asexual reproduction

Budding: cell wall grows in one point on cell (polar growth)

then throughout cell. A bud formed on one side of cell.

Example; HYDRA AND YEAST

Conidia: Spore of fungi that produce at tip or side of hyphae or

special spore producing structure called Conidiophore.
Example; Penicillium and Aspergillus

Binary fission: A single parent cell divides to 2 daughter

cells each have same Genome as parent cell.
 Process:
>DNA duplicate > Cell enlarge Single
cell divides to 2
Cyst formation:

Cyst is formed in bacteria so it can resists from chemicals by

damage or through cyst bacteria grow in unfavourable
conditions
Example; Azotobactor

Endospore:
It occurred in gram positive bacteria.
It is tough dormant and nonreproductive structure It produce
due to lack of nutrients.
Binary fission
And
Endospore
 Azotobactor

Conidia of pancillium
Budding in Yeast
Sexual reproduction

 Transformation: Taking up
foreign DNA also transfer newly
made plasmids to Bacteria

 Conjugation: As foreign DNA

taking up so their would be direct
contact of two bacteria called
conjugation

 Transduction: When virus transfer

genetic material to bacteria called
transduction. That virus called
Bacteriophage

Trans formation and

Transduction
