What shapes do virus assume?
Viruses can be helical and icosahedral forms or even more complex structures. Most viruses are about one one-hundredth the size of the average bacterium.
How do you calculate the actual size of the bacterium?
Bacterium size is measured by a technique called Micrometry. With micrometry you can measured the size of very small beings like bacteria, cells, etc. This technique involves the use of a microscope in which the eye piece is calibrated in micrometers. A similarly calibrated slide is used for standardization. The specimen is then mounted and the size measured. Normally, the size of many cells are taken into account and an average value is taken, since all cells may not be of the same size.

What is a bacterium that needs oxygen?
A bacterium that needs oxygen is called an aerobic bacterium
Is E. coli bacterium fungus or protist?
Bacterium
What is the size of an average bacterium?
0.2 to 5 microns
What is the average size of bacterium?
50-500 nm
How does the size of a virus compare with the size of a bacterium?
A virus is much much much smaller then a bacterium. Virus called phage can infect bacteria.
What is the width of a bacterium?
On average, a bacterium is 1 μm or 1 micrometer wide. Hope this helps!
How does the size of a bacterium compare to the size of a bacteria?
Bacteria are all unicelular, but some live in colonies where they actually don't differ that much in cell size. 'Bacteria' is the plural form of 'bacterium'.

How many times bigger is the average bacterium than the average virus?
100 times bigger
What is the definition of spoilage microorganisms?
An organism of microscopic or submicroscopic size, especially a bacterium or protozoan.
What is the size of a bacterium relative to a man?
A bacterium is general about 1 micron long. There are 1 million microns, or micrometers, in a meter, so the difference is about 1.5-2 million-fold.
