The general name for spherical bacteria is cocci. They can be singular (cocci), diplococci (two) or a string (streptococci).
Diploococci meningitidisis a round bacterium that typically occurs in the form of two joined cells
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.
Prokaryotes contain a single circular chromosome. Some also carry smaller plasmids that are also round and contain few genes, transferred from bacterium to bacterium by conjugation.
The modern name of the cell amoeba is mycoplasma bacterium

You may have heard of "bacteria" already. In the general population, people refer to "bacteria" as meaning"one bacteria" or "many bacteria". However, this is incorrect. In microbiology, the term "bacteria" means many, while the term "bacterium" refers to a single bacterium. Simply; 1=bacterium while 2 or more= bacteria
It means the bacterium has two attached cell bodies
