Sphere-shaped bacteria are called cocci. Bacteria shaped like rods are called bacilli and spiral-shaped bacteria are called spirilla.

Bacteria typically have one of three shapes: rods (bacilli), spheres (cocci) or spiral (spirilla). These shaps are shown in Figures 7 and 8.

Gram Positive Facultative Cocci The term 'facultative' is used to describe organisms ... Catalase is an enzyme produced by most aerobic andfacultative anaerobic bacteria.

The bacteria community in the clean well was dominated by gram-positive cocci bacteria, where as, the bacteria community in the contaminated well was dominated by gram-negative ...

... by Lancefield's serological methods. This simplistic view of catalase-negative gram-positive cocci fell by the wayside as molecular taxonomic studies of these bacteria gave rise to an ...

Bacilli very greatly in length and diameter. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae are cocci or spherical bacteria. Cocci may occur singularly, in pairs (as in ...
