With ideal environmental factors, bacteria are able to reproduce at a very rapid pace.
Bacterial reproduction
Bacteria reproduce mainly by a single cell dividing into two, given the right condition. In order words, they reproduce by binary fission.
When environmental conditions are optimum, a typical bacterial cell can divide every 4 to 20 minutes depending on the species.
The time can become longer with sub-optimal environmental conditions.
