Bacteria cells are prokaryotic. They will never be eukaryotic.

A bacterium best represents a prokaryotic cell because it lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, are smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells. They contain essential components such as plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes, but their DNA is not contained within a nucleus.
