    One of the two major classes of prokaryotic organism (the other being the Cyanobacteria). Bacteria are small (linear dimensions of around 1 m m), non-compartmentalised, with circular DNA, and ribosomes of 70S. Protein synthesis differs from that of eukaryotes, and many anti-bacterial antibiotics interfere with protein synthesis, but do not affect the infected host. Recently bacteria have been subdivided into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria, althoug …
