  2. Fission (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_(biology)

    Binary fission is generally rapid, though its speed varies between species. For E. coli, cells typically divide about every 20 minutes at 37 °C. [11] Because the new cells will, in turn, undergo binary fission on their own, the time binary fission requires is also the time the bacterial culture requires to double in the number of cells it ...

  3. Amitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitosis

    Amitosis, also known as karyostenosis, direct cell division, or binary fission, is a form of asexual cell division primarily observed in bacteria and other prokaryotes. This process is distinct from other cell division mechanisms such as mitosis and meiosis , mainly because it bypasses the complexities associated with the mitotic apparatus ...

  4. Bacterial growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth

    Bacterial growth is proliferation of bacterium into two daughter cells, in a process called binary fission. Providing no mutation event occurs, the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell.

  5. Bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria

    Bacteria grow to a fixed size and then reproduce through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. [117] Under optimal conditions, bacteria can grow and divide extremely rapidly, and some bacterial populations can double as quickly as every 17 minutes. [118] In cell division, two identical clone daughter cells are produced. Some bacteria ...

  6. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) usually undergo a vegetative cell division known as binary fission, where their genetic material is segregated equally into two daughter cells, but there are alternative manners of division, such as budding, that have been observed. All cell divisions, regardless of organism, are preceded by a single round of ...

  7. Escherichia coli - Wikipedia

    Binary interactions. Rajagopala et al. (2014) have carried out systematic yeast two-hybrid screens with most E. coli proteins, and found a total of 2,234 protein-protein interactions. [ 73 ] This study also integrated genetic interactions and protein structures and mapped 458 interactions within 227 protein complexes .

  8. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Prokaryotes (Archaea and Bacteria) reproduce asexually through binary fission, in which the parent organism divides in two to produce two genetically identical daughter organisms. Eukaryotes (such as protists and unicellular fungi) may reproduce in a functionally similar manner by mitosis; most of these are also capable of sexual reproduction.

  9. Prokaryote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryote

    Bacteria and archaea reproduce through asexual reproduction, usually by binary fission. Genetic exchange and recombination occur by horizontal gene transfer, not involving replication. [13] DNA transfer between prokaryotic cells occurs in bacteria [14] and archaea. [15] In bacteria, gene transfer occurs by three processes.
