Answer:
Bacteria are classified according to the
shape of their cells. They are:
• Bacilli: Rod shaped bacteria.
Eg. Bacillus anthracis
• Spirilla: Spiral shaped bacteria.
Eg. Helicobacter pylori
• Cocci: Spherical or ball shaped bacteria.
They can stick together in pairs (diplococcus)
or form a chain (streptococcus) or occur in
bunches (staphylococcus).
• Vibrio - Comma shaped bacteria.
Eg. Vibrio cholera.
