Depending on shape of Bacteria it is divided into

Bacilli (Bacteria which is in the form of 'rod' shape),
Cocci (Bacteria in the form of 'spherical' shape),
Vibrios (Bacteria in the form of 'comma' shaped which are resembles to rod shape),
Spirilla (Bacteria in the form of 'spiral' shaped).

And based on the arrangement of cells they are classified as

Mono (to which are arranged in the form of single form),
Diplo (to which are arranged in the form of double cells together),
Strepto (to which are arranged in the form of chain form),
Staphylo (to which are arranged in the form of bunch or clumps form).


Exceptions:

Pleomorphic (which are not present in proper shape. eg.Mycoplasma),
Cocobasillus (Bacteria which normally present in rod shape but in corner are in slightly round in shape. eg.Bacillus anthracis).

I'll provide two examples you might have heard of because they can be pathogenic, and in both examples the genus name tells you the shape of the individual bacterium as well as the shapes formed by groups of cells as they grow and divide: Staphylococcus aureus (Staph = grows in clusters, coccus = individual cells are spherical). Another example could be Streptobacillus moniliformis (Strep = grows in chains, bacillus = individual cells are rod-shaped).

What protein is made in the squamous cell?

The word squamous refers to the shape of the cell - it means scale shaped and refers to cells that bulge in the middle and taper at the ends. There are many types of cells that are squamous cells. As such, there is no particular protein that is characteristic of squamous cells. They will possess the same set of thousands of basic housekeeping proteins that any cell will possess and supplemented with the dozens or hundreds of proteins that make them a particular kind of squamous cell.
