Is multiply by binary fission not characteristic of bacteria?
Bacteria multiply by binary fission, and there is no sexual interaction. Bacteria are a successful and ancient form of life, quite different from the eukaryotes (which includes the fungi, plants and animals). They are small cells, found in the environment as either individual cells or aggregated together as clumps, and their intracellular structure is far simpler than eukaryotes.

About Bacteria
Bacteria are single celled organisms found in every habitat on Earth, growing in soil, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, water, and deep in the Earth's crust, as well as in organic matter and the live bodies of plants and animals. Some bacteria cause disease but others are essential to the human body. For example, bacteria in the digestion system, help in the healthful digestion of food. Sometimes trying to get bacteria out of one place in your body can cause problems in another.
