Bacillus
rod shaped bacteria (bacilli → pleaural)
Binary fission
cell division
Coccus
spherical prokaryotic cell (cocci → pleural)
Coccobacillus
rounded rod shaped bacteria that appears oval
Diplococcus
cocci that remain associated in pairs
Palisades
“chinese character” arrangement
Pleomorphic
have the genetic capacity to take on different shapes
Spirillum
bacterial cells that have a little more spiral, fairly rigid, and appear as an “S” shape
Spirochete
bacterial cells that are extremely spiraled but are more flexible, shape is similar to a corkscrew
Staphylococcus
bacteria that divide in different planes will form irregular clusters of cells. these clusters will have a “grape-like” appearance
Streptococcus
formation of long chains of cocci occurs when bacterial cells remain associated after multiple divisions. chains of round cells
Streptobacillus
bacilli that are associated in long chains, fail to disassociate after binary fusion
Vibrio
bacteria with little spiral and appear as a comma
