A single organism belonging to the domain of true bacteria, as opposed to archaebacteria.
Singular form of eubacteria from Greek 'eu-' (true) + Latin 'bacterium'; used in scientific naming for individual bacterial cells.
A single eubacterium can reproduce so fast that one cell divides into over 8 million cells in just 24 hours—it's why food spoils and why antibiotics work by stopping this exponential growth!
