What is the name of a bacterium?

Answer 1

To the best of my knowledge, the term "microorganisms" is itself a common name/terminology covering various types of microorganisms like algae, bacteria, fungi, virus, etc. They can also be called germs or bugs.

Answer 2

There isn't one common name that encompasses all prokaryotes. The term classifies organisms that do not have a cell nucleus. Two major classification domains fall under prokaryotes - bacteria (which is probably the closest thing to a common name for prokaryotes) and archaea.

Answer 3

That depends on what bacterium you are talking about.

Answer 4

true bacteria

Answer 5

the common word is germs.

Answer 6

Escherichia coli.
