Quick Facts

Bacteria - 1: Single-celled microorganisms that can exist either as independent (free-living) organisms or as parasites (dependent upon another organism for life). Examples are Acidophilus, found in yogurt, E. coli, found in the colon, and Streptococcus, the cause of strep throat. 2: Microorganisms that use organic material for food (heterotrophs) or carbon dioxide (autotrophs) for building blocks of cellular molecules and energy, and produce waste products. The three main types of bacteria are: aerobic, anaerobic and facultative anaerobic.
