Document Summary

Most common form of reproduction in both (most bacterial and archaeal cells are haploid) Form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division. The new organism remains attached to the parent and separates when it is mature: baeocyte formation: The progeny cells (baeocytes) are held within the cell wall of the parent cell until they are released. Importance of cell wall: constrain turgor pressure exerted by the cytoplasm, thereby preventing the cell from swelling and bursting. Cell wall biosynthesis and determination of cell shape in spherical and rod-shaped cells. Spherical cells build new peptidoglycan only at midcell, where the septum will form during division. This leads to daughter cells that have one old and one new cell wall hemisphere. Sidewall elongation: during growth prior to division, new cell wall is made along the side of the cell but not at the poles.
