Study Of Bacteria

The bacteria are biological cell types. They form a vast domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Bacteria typically have a few micrometers in length, and have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to spirals, round and rods. Bacteria is among the first forms of life to appear on Earth and are present in most of their habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, radioactive waste, acidic hot springs and the Earth's crust's deep biosphere. Bacteria also live with the plants and animals in symbiotic and parasitic relationships. Most of the bacteria were not characterized and only about 27% of the bacterial phyla was spread. For survival, almost all animal life depends on bacteria, as only bacteria and some archaea possess the genes and enzymes needed to synthesize vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, and provide it through the food chain. Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that participates in the metabolism of every human body cell. It is a cofactor in DNA synthesis, in both fatty and amino acids.
