Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The bacteria are the prokaryotes,which have no organelles. They are single-celled organisms. Their cell wall has peptidoglycan and they reproduce throughbinary fission. There are few accessory structures that are originated from the exterior of a bacterial cell. They are divided into two groups: those which provide motility and those which provide channels or attachment points.
