Bacterial reproduction can be slowed by increasing or decreasing the pH, providing them nutrient deficient medium. In process of reproduction, they also require phosphorus and iron. If there is an increase in pH they won't be able to assimilate iron and phosphorus.

The process by which one strain of bacteria is apparently changed into another strain is called what?
conjugation or transduction or translation are the three process by which bacteria can change from one form to other
What is the process of bacterial reproduction called?
The most common bacterial reproduction is by Binary Fission, which is the use of mitosis to create two identical cells from one. Rarely, bacteria can reproduce sexually (ie using meiosis to create genetically different daughter cells) but this is not the most widely used mechanism.
Describe the process of reproduction in bacteria?
Conjugation is a sexual form of reproduction in bacteria. It is when the DNA/RNA from one bacteria crosses to another bacteria to reproduce through a pilus. Binary Fission is an asexual form of reproduction in bacteria when the cell splits and forms two new bacteria.
How do bacterial meningitis bacteria reproduce?
Bacterial Meningitis is a spore-forming bacilli. Bacteria typically reproduce by an asexual process called binary fission. Also called transverse division. A process by which one cell increases in size and forms two cells which are identical to each other.
Why is bacterial sporulation not a reproductive process?
The simple answer: the mother cell does not survive, i.e. no net increase in the population is attained. In bacterial reproduction, two daughter cells are produced, in sporulation, only one spore is made.

What factors can you control that would slow down the reproduction of the bacteria?
One of the factors that can you control that would slow down the reproduction of bacteria is the temperature and the humidity. Many bacteria grow best in a warm, humid environment similar to human body temperature.
What is the process in which one strain of bacteria changes into another?
transformation
What is transformation in DNA?
transformation is the process in which one strain of bacteria is changed by a gene or genes from another strain of bacteria
What is the process in which one strain of bacteria appears to change into another?
Boobs
A reproductive process in which pollen from one plant is transferred to the stigma of another plant?
cross pollination
Does a bisexual flower have one reproductive system or both reproductive systems?
it has only one reproductive system
What describes evolution as a slow ongoing process by which one species changes to a new species?
The answer is: gradualism
Can a rock found outside change from one group to another?
metamorphosis a very slow process
What do bacteria produce?
"Bacteria producing bacteria" - this is not a specific type of bacteria, as you might say a dog is a specific type of animal. All bacteria reproduce, and form new bacteria through a process usually called binary fission. In this way, each bacteria produces more new bacteria. It is not a trait of one species of bacteria.
Why can food be kept fresh for a longer period when kept in the fridge?
Bacteria grows and multiplies much quicker between 8c and 67c. There for keeping perishable items refrigerated slows down this process. Bacteria always needs three things to help it flourish. Heat, time and moisture. Take away one of these and you slow down or even stop growth.
Why is lactic acid in milk?
Bacteria get into the milk and ferment it for energy. One of the products of this process is lactic acid.
