Classification of bacteria based on their evolutionary relationships to one another, that is to say, drawing a sort of family tree of all bacterial species, is a relatively new development. Bacteria is an organism and bacteria are a type of prokaryotes that are single celled. There are different types of cell wall in bacteria, that classify bacteria into gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria. Most bacteria have a single circular chromosome that can range in sizes. Mutation rates vary widely among different species of bacteria and even among different clones of a single species of bacteria.Some species of bacteria kill and then consume other microorganisms, these species are called predatory bacteria. Bacteria are known to have a negative connotation, however not all bacteria is bad. Bacteria as a microscopic organism can be negative in that they can cause infections or viruses, they are positive in that they can be used for the process of fermentation decomposition. THe main purpose of bacteria is to replicate. This is also how many sickness can be transmitted such as cold or flu. There are tiny particles in bacteria that replicate constantly and travel place to place creating more and new bacteria. Bacteria needs energy to maintain itself and allow replication. Bacteria is one of many organisms that are alive and constantly growing.
