Nucleosome present in a bacterial cell:

A nucleosome is a part of DNA that is wrapped around the 8 pieces of histone proteins which are also called a histone octamer and contain 1.75 turns of the histone protein.  

This 1.75 turn of the DNA contains about 146 base pairs of the nitrogen bases of the DNA

So, in a DNA having 2 \times 10^{3} base pairs, number of nucleosomes  

=2 \times \frac{10^{3}}{146}=13.69

So, around 13 nucleosomes are present in the DNA with 2000 base pairs of nitrogen bases.
