List out the asexual modes of reproduction of bacteria.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Bacteria reproduces asexually by Binary fission, conidia and endospore formation. Among these Binary fission is the most common one.
Binary fission: Under favourable conditions the cell divides into two daughter cells. The nuclear material divides first and it is followed by the formation of a simple median constriction which finally results in the separation of two cells.
Endospores: During unfavourable condition bacteria produce endospores. Endospores are produced in Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus sphaericus and Clostridium tetani. Endospores are thick walled resting spores. During favourable condition, they germinate and form bacteria.
