Bacteria usually reproduce asexually. In case of sexual reproduction, certain plasmids genetic material can be passed between bacteria. On the other hand, viruses mainly carry information-for example, DNA or RNA, packaged in a protein and/or membranous coat.Viruses harness the host cell's machinery to reproduce.acteria usually reproduce asexually.

The vegetative form of B. cereus grows in a range of 10 to 50Â°C, with a temperature optimum between 30 and 40Â°C. However, the individual cold-tolerating strains can also multiply at temperatures of 4 to 6Â°C; in these cases the generation times are, however, considerably longer.
What is optimum temperature for escherichia coli? Answer   37 degrees celsius.     ....Is the temperature of the gut in which E. coli lives, so you might call that 'optimal.' Note that the optimal growth rate foâ¦r E. coli is actually a bit higher, around 40.6 C assuming normal conditions.
