Bacteria divide by binary fission which simply means that one cell splits in two.
As a separate matter, there is a process called "conjugation" for transfer of genetic information that is completely different than binary fission .
Bacterial conjugation occurs between bacterial cells by direct cell-to-cell contact or through a bridge of material between two cells. Genetic material is transferred in this process.

How do organisms move around?
Some have flagella that they rotate as an outboard motor to move around, some have cilia that they use as oars, stroke, return, to move around and some microorganisms just go with the currents in whatever medium they are in.
What entraps microorganisms entering the respiratory passages?
Mucus produced by specialized cells in the respiratory system can trap microorganisms entering the respiratory passages. Cilia, small hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract, then help to move the trapped microorganisms out of the airways through a process called mucociliary clearance. Additionally, immune cells within the respiratory system can also work to engulf and destroy any trapped microorganisms.
Does all microorganisms unicellular?
No, not all microorganisms are unicellular. Some microorganisms, like certain types of fungi and algae, can be multicellular.
How do microorganisms affect jam?
There is no microorganisms/bacteria living/growing in jam because it is so sweet and the sugar dehytrates the microorganisms so they can no longer live in the jam. So the answer is no, no microorganisms live in jam.
How can white blood cells fight infections once microorganisms get into the body?
Phagocytes surround and then physically ingest the microorganisms. Lymphocytes produce antibodies to kill the microorganisms.
Can microorganisms move by currents?
yes
Why do microorganisms need to move?
so the system can work
Which microorganisms are unable to move on their own and are spread through the air?
Examples of microorganisms that are unable to move on their own and are spread through the air include viruses like influenza virus, bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and fungi like Aspergillus. These microorganisms rely on air currents or human activities to be dispersed and transmitted to new hosts.
Differentiate the motility of the microorganisms observed in wet mount from hanging-drop mount based on the rate of movement?
In a wet mount, microorganisms move more freely and quickly due to the open environment. In a hanging-drop mount, microorganisms tend to move slower as they are trapped in the drop of liquid suspended from the coverslip, restricting their movement.
What is a whip like tail that some microorganisms use to move?
It called the flagellum.Some have many,they called Cilia.
Why is there a need for microorganisms to move?
Because they need to eat too, be it food particles, nutrients or other organisms. Even if they only photosynthesize, they have to move towards the light!
What is an inoculating needle used for?
An inoculating needle is used in a microbiology lab to collect microorganisms from a culture and move them to a petri dish.

How tall can coral get?
As tall as it wants to get before divers or currents knock it down, or the microorganisms in it stop working on it and move to make a new coral
What is the harmful microorganisms?
10 harms of microorganisms
Are there microorganisms in salt?
