Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The bacteria are classified into four types on the basis of their shapes. The four types of bacteria are Coccus, Bacillus, Vibrio, and Spiral. The coccus shaped bacteria are spherical in shape such as the Streptococcus species. The bacillus shaped bacteria are cylindrical shaped cells such as the Lactobacillus. The vibrio shaped bacteria are comma-shaped cells such as Vibrio cholera. The spiral-shaped bacterial are “S” shaped such as Spirillum.
