title: [Genomic structure of bacteria: uniformity or diversity?].
abstract: This paper is a survey of data, indicating that, in contrast to widely adopted ideas, bacterial chromosomes and plasmids are not only circular, but also linear. Moreover, certain bacteria contain at least two different chromosomes per cell. Examples of other unusual genome properties in certain representatives of bacteria are also considered.
