The 29 pages that link to Bacteria, each with the reason it gives.

• EukaryoteCompared with: Bacteria are both eukaryotes’ distant relatives and the ancestors of mitochondria.

• Germ theory of diseaseBroader topic: Bacteria cause many diseases central to the theory's historical development.

• Soil food webRelated: Soil bacteria consume organic compounds and become food for microbial grazers.

• ChemosynthesisNarrower topic: Bacteria include many of the primary producers that perform chemosynthesis.

• Antonie van LeeuwenhoekBroader topic: Leeuwenhoek described these tiny organisms in samples including dental plaque.

• MicroorganismBroader topic: They are one of the largest and most familiar groups of microorganisms.

• ProkaryoteBroader topic: Bacteria are one of the two major groups included among prokaryotes.

• CellBroader topic: Bacteria are familiar examples of organisms made of prokaryotic cells.

• Last universal common ancestorRelated: Bacterial comparisons with archaea help test which features may have existed before their divergence.

• HumusRelated: Soil bacteria consume organic residues and alter their compounds during decomposition.

• ThermophileNarrower topic: Many familiar thermophiles, including Thermus aquaticus, are bacteria.

• Bacterial infectionNarrower topic: Bacteria are the organisms responsible for this class of infection.

• AmoebaCompared with: Amoebas may be single-celled too, but their cells have eukaryotic organization.

• MonophylyBroader topic: Debates about deep relationships among bacteria complicate claims about some broad bacterial groupings.

• SalmonellaNarrower topic: Salmonella belongs to this broad group of microorganisms.

• Three-domain systemBroader topic: One of the three primary lineages recognized by this classification.

• Dictyostelium discoideumRelated: Bacteria are the principal food source for the amoeba during its solitary phase.

• MicrofiltrationRelated: Many bacteria are larger than microfiltration pores and can be retained, though performance depends on membrane integrity and conditions.

• PenicilliumCompared with: Penicillin-producing Penicillium inhibits susceptible bacteria, which are biologically distinct from fungi.

• Prokaryotic cellBroader topic: Bacteria are one of the two major groups whose cells are prokaryotic.

• BacillotaNarrower topic: Bacillota is one of the major lineages within this domain of life.

• RhizobiaNarrower topic: Rhizobia are bacterial partners, not a single species or genus.

• AcidobacteriotaNarrower topic: Acidobacteriota is one major lineage within this domain of life.

• ChloroflexotaNarrower topic: Chloroflexota is one phylum within this broad domain of life.

• FibrobacterotaNarrower topic: Fibrobacterota is one lineage within this domain.

• ParakaryonNarrower topic: Parakaryon’s cell wall and ribosome-like particles recall bacterial organization.

• PlantCompared with: Photosynthetic bacteria can resemble plants functionally but are not plants.

• ThermoplasmaCompared with: Thermoplasma resembles bacteria in simple cell shape but belongs to Archaea and lacks peptidoglycan.
