There are some bacteria that can be quite large (in the scale of bacteria), like Epulopiscium fishelsoni, which reaches length of 0.7 mm (thus 150 times bigger than larger bacteria). This is the size of many small insects and crustaceans. You can see this bacteria with the unaided eye. This species is the largest bacterial species ever found, living in the gut of most surgeonfish species

Explain why bacteria do not completely engulf the earth even though they reproduce rapidly enough to do so?
Bacterial growth is constrained by several parameters such as the level of nutrients around them, the temperature they grow at, pH and whether they grow in air or not just to name a few. No single bacteria can grow in all conditions so therefore bacteria can never engulf the earth. Most bacteria have fairly specific growth conditions.
