Name the smallest bacteria?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotes ubiquitous in nature. As such, they can be found in different types of environments. Bacteria may exist as free-living organisms (making their own food or feeding on dead organic matter etc), in symbiosis with other organisms (e.g. Zoamastogopera found in the digestive system of termites) or as parasitic organisms that can cause harm and disease in their hosts.
