Shape of Bacterial Cell
The three basic bacterial shapes are coccus (spherical), bacillus (rod-shaped), and spiral (twisted), however pleomorphic bacteria can assume several shapes.
Cocci (or coccus for a single cell) are round cells, sometimes slightly flattened when they are adjacent to one another.
Bacilli (or bacillus for a single cell) are rod-shaped bacteria.
Spirilla (or spirillum for a single cell) are curved bacteria which can range from a gently curved shape to a corkscrew-like spiral. Many spirilla are rigid and capable of movement. A special group of spirilla known as spirochetes are long, slender, and flexible.
