Most bacteria have a single chromosome.

Its DNA is described as circular, because it is in the form of a loop. There are also small rings of DNA called plasmids, but these are not classed as chromosomes.

The cholera bacterium, Vibrio cholerae, has two chromosomes.

One main and round chromosome. Sometimes the bacteria has another small, round plasmid containing a few genes. These plasmids are exchanged among bacteria in the process of conjugation.
