E. Coli does not reproduce by binary fission. It reproduces by conjugation, in which genetic material is exchanged between two cells. This process is not common in bacteria but some intestinal bacteria, E. coli for example, split by conjugation.

Yes. It is called conjugation.

Bacteria reproduce through binary fission (cell division) and conjugation. In cell division, the bacteria duplicates its single chromosome, then divides into two different cells; this can happen at an extremely rapid rate (20 minutes). In conjugation, two cells temporarily attach, exchanging DNA; this increases genetic diversity, making the species more sustainable. Once the species detatch, they then go through cell division to reproduce.
Didinum repoduce by sexually via conjugation.
Paramecium reproduces sexually by conjugation.
Shigella infection spreads through food or water contaminated by human waste.
Prokaryotes reproduce asexually by binary fission; they can also exchange genetic material by transformation, transduction, and conjugation.
Prokaryotes can reproduce by either binary fission or conjugation. Binary Fission is asexual reproduction where the cell splits in two, and conjugation works through the exchange in DNA between two cells.binary fusionin asexual process known as binary fissionbinary fissionProkaryotes use binary fission or conjugation to reproduce asexually.
