Mostly bacteria have life time of 20 minutes.

Explanation:

Bacteria are unicellular organisms and reproduction in them is done only by the cell division. When a bacterial cell divides into two cells, the new cells will take approximately 20 minutes for further division. During this time period the bacterial cell grows in size, accumulates nutrients, replicates DNA and prepare itself for further division.
