Bacteria are just not a “bag of enzymes”!
For decades, scientists thought bacteria is a simple organism which lack of internal order and complexity of eukaryotic cells. Today, thanks to advanced techniques we know that bacteria are versatile microorganisms with a large range of cellular components and functions beyond just enzymes. They contains certain essential components such as cell membrane, nucleoid and ribosomes to survive and thrive. Various processes are carried out in the cell to maintain internal and external cellular organization such as cell shape and elongation, chromosome organization, segregation, cell division and growth.
