General Characteristics of Prokaryotic
Organisms
• Prokaryotes
• Most diverse group of cellular microbes
• Thrive in various habitats
• Only a few capable of colonizing humans and causing
disease

General Characteristics of Prokaryotic
Organisms
• Endospores
• Produced by Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus and
Clostridium
• Each vegetative cell transforms into one endospore
• Each endospore germinates to form one vegetative cell
• Defensive strategy against unfavorable conditions
• Concern to food processors, health care professionals,
and governments

cell (viviparity)
