It makes bacteria the ultimate r-selected organism. They are small, thus requiring few nutrients, thus having a short life span and a fast rate at which they reproduce, so that an individual bacteria is incredibly weak, has low resistance, but a given species as a whole is incredibly strong, able to bounce back quickly from a cataclysm, has high resiliency.

How do you calculate the actual size of the bacterium?
Bacterium size is measured by a technique called Micrometry. With micrometry you can measured the size of very small beings like bacteria, cells, etc. This technique involves the use of a microscope in which the eye piece is calibrated in micrometers. A similarly calibrated slide is used for standardization. The specimen is then mounted and the size measured. Normally, the size of many cells are taken into account and an average value is taken, since all cells may not be of the same size.
