put agar in a Petri dish, then use a Q-tip to wipe a dirty surface, then spread it on the Petri dish in a zigzag motion, then it will grow over time.

When people refer to bacteria growth it is actually about the amount of bacterium in a colony rather than the actual size of an individual bacterium increasing. Bacterium reproduce asexually through binary fission. This is when they basically just make a copy of their chromosome and then split. They reproduce sexually through conjunction. This is when they attach to one another using their pili, which are short hairlike structures on the outside of the cell. Through the pili they transfer a copy of a portion of their DNA. They then take on traits of the other cell. This helps to explain how bacterium can pass on drug resistance to one another.Bacteria is every were and you can get sick if you don't dust daily.

Bacteria need moisture in order to grow. This is why they grow on foods with high moisture content such as chicken. Foods that are dehydrated or freeze-dried can be stored for much longer as the moisture has been removed.

Bacteria (or any cells for that mater) multiply by splitting, they can't split if they're extremely small.
