  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 mode of asexual cell division primarily observed in 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, such as spindle formation.

  4. Bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria

    Bacteria grow to a fixed size and then reproduce through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. [112] Under optimal conditions, bacteria can grow and divide extremely rapidly, and some bacterial populations can double as quickly as every 17 minutes. [113] In cell division, two identical clone daughter cells are produced. Some bacteria ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  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 .

    They both reproduce through binary fission. Bacteria, the most prominent type, have several different shapes, although most are spherical or rod-shaped. Bacteria can be classed as either gram-positive or gram-negative depending on the cell wall composition. Gram-positive bacteria have a thicker peptidoglycan layer than gram

  9. Thiomargarita namibiensis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomargarita_namibiensis

    T. namibiensis reproduces mainly through binary fission. [39] Reproduction of T. namibiensis occurs on a single plane; the cocci (a spherical bacterial cell) divide into a diplococcus or streptococcus arrangement. [13] [42] A diplococcus is a pair of cocci cells that can form chains, and streptococcus is a grape-like cluster of cells. [43]
