Bacteria do not need telomerase because their chromosomes are typically circular, rather than linear like those in eukaryotic cells. Circular chromosomes do not experience the same problem during replication as linear chromosomes, which are at risk of losing genetic material at the ends during cell division. Therefore, bacteria do not require telomeres or telomerase to maintain chromosomal integrity during replication.
