Bacteria do not have a gestation period like multicellular organisms; instead, they reproduce asexually through binary fission. The time it takes for a bacterial cell to divide can vary widely depending on the species and environmental conditions, typically ranging from about 20 minutes to several hours. Under ideal conditions, some bacteria can double in number in as little as 20 minutes.
