Bacterial DNA replication is simpler and faster than eukaryotic DNA replication. Bacteria have a single circular chromosome, while eukaryotes have multiple linear chromosomes. Bacterial replication occurs bidirectionally from a single origin, while eukaryotic replication starts at multiple origins. Bacteria use a DNA polymerase III enzyme for replication, while eukaryotes use multiple DNA polymerases.
