The four things are oxygen, food (nutrients), warmth, and time. Two others can be moisture and acidity, but the above 4 are more prevalent.

-nutrients are needed for energy, nitrogen (for DNA and proteins), phosphorus (for energy), and others.

-warmth is needed so the bacteria can stay warm..... kinda obvious. if you've ever grown bacteria, you need an incubator to keep them warm overnight.

-oxygen is needed so the bacteria can, again, make energy.

-time is needed for the bacteria to complete binary fission over and over again.

-acidity is needed so the bacteria can survive in its environment. highly base or acidic environments may harm the bacteria and hinder its lifespan.

How does lactobacillus acidophilus reproduce?

Lactobacillus acidophilus reproduces by a process called binary fission, where the bacterial cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This type of reproduction allows the bacteria to rapidly multiply and increase its population.


How do bacteria make more of themselves?

Bacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission, where a bacterial cell splits into two identical daughter cells. During binary fission, the bacterial cell replicates its DNA and then divides the cell into two new cells. This process allows bacteria to rapidly multiply and increase their population.
