👉 Bacteriogenous is a medical term that refers to an organism that has a high level of genetic material or DNA, but lacks enzymes that can catalyze chemical reactions. This means that it cannot produce its own energy through photosynthesis like bacteria do, and therefore requires external sources of light and nutrients to survive. Bacteriogenesis is the process by which a bacterium forms new cells from existing ones, with the cell wall being formed around the bacterial DNA.
