They are classified based on their shape, that is, Coccus, Bacillus, Vibrium and Spirilium. They have a very simple structure. They are complex in nature. Some of them are autotrophic. They can be found as photosynthetic autotrophic or chemosythetic autotrophic. Majority bacterias are heterotrophic.
