Baccillus [plural. bacilli], Coccus [plural. cocci], and Spirillum [plural. spirilla] are three different shapes of bacteria [singular. bacterium]. A rod-shaped bacterium is called a baccillus. A spiral shaped bacterium is called a spirillum. Spirillum only live as single cells. A round bacterium is called a coccus. Some coccus form pairs and chains while others grow in grape like bunches. Some bacilli also form pairs or chains but they do not grow in bunches. Flagellum [plural. flagella] are hair like structures that allow the bacteria to move in liquids.
