Division of a bacterial cell, animation. Bacterial cells usually divide via a process known as binary fission. Here, we see the bacterial cell doubling its mass, replicating its DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and segregating the two newly formed chromosomes (black circles). A septum then assembles at a predetermined site between these two chromosomes and the cell splits into two daughter cells. | |
