Detailed explanation-1: -The three basic shapes of bacteria are Cocci (round), Bacilli (rod), and Spirilla (spiral). When viewed under light microscope, most bacteria appear in variations of three major shapes: the rod (bacillus), the sphere (coccus) and the spiral type (spirillum).
Detailed explanation-2: -The three basic shapes of bacteria are bacillus (rod-shaped), coccus (spherical-shaped), and spirillum (spiral-shaped).
Detailed explanation-3: -Spiral-shaped bacteria occur in one of three forms: vibrio, spirillum, and spirochete (Fig.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria are classified into five groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes).
Detailed explanation-5: -Bacteria are classified according to their shape. The two main groups of bacteria are cocci (spherical-shaped) and bacilli (rod-shaped) (Brooker 2008).
