A. Bacterial cell are very simple having prokaryoyic organization. In case of hypnotic environment they either escape by the formation of some spores or selectively absorbs the source of energy (glucose) from the environment. They have the ability to switch their metabolic programs to take advantage of the best available carbon source of energy. When glucose is ...
