Bacilli, cocci, and spirilla all refer to the shape of different bacteria. Bacilli are rod shaped, cocci are spherical, and spirilla have "curved walls" meaning that they are either slightly bent or rigid spirals.
You can use Google images for pictures of each. Hope this helps!
What else can I help you with?
Can cocci bacilli or spirilla move by themselves?
No, cocci, bacilli, and spirilla are all types of bacteria that typically cannot move by themselves. They lack structures like flagella for movement. Instead, these bacteria are usually transported by external forces such as air or water currents.
What is the body type for all bacteria?
Bacteria are classified based on their shape into three main body types: cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped).
What type of bacteria is in antibiotics coccus bacillus or spirillum?
Antibiotics can target various types of bacteria, which are generally classified into shapes such as cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). The type of bacteria that antibiotics can affect depends on the specific antibiotic and its mechanism of action. For example, penicillin is effective against many cocci, while tetracycline can target a wide range of bacterial shapes, including bacilli and cocci. Therefore, antibiotics can act on all three types, depending on the bacteria they are designed to combat.
Do all bacteria have a spiral shape?
No, not all bacteria have a spiral shape. Bacteria come in various shapes such as spheres (cocci), rods (bacilli), and spirals (spirilla). The shape of a bacterium is determined by its cell wall structure and genetic makeup.
What name the 3 types of bacteria?
There are many types of bacteria. It depends on what you are looking at as "type". There are cocci, bacilli, spirchetes (among other shapes) all referring to the shape of the bacteria. Of those they may be Gram positive or Gram Negative. There are anaerobes, aerobes, microaerophillic, and falcultative - all referring to the oxygen requirements of the bacteria. There are many other "types", but I would go with shape and Gram +/- such as "Gram + Cocci" as one type.

What is a bicilli?
First of all, it seems as if you want to say bacilli. This is one of the three common shapes of a bacterium (the other two being spirilium and cocci)

Are all bacteria the same shape?
No, bacteria come in various shapes such as spherical (cocci), rod-shaped (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), and comma-shaped (vibrios). Each shape has unique characteristics that help classify and identify different types of bacteria.
The number of shape that bacteria come in?
The three main shapes of bacteria are; Bacillus = rod shaped bacteria Coccus = round shaped bacteria Spirillia = spiral shaped bacteria All bacteria are of one of these general shapes.
Does penicillin cure all infections and bacteria?
Penicillin is NOT effective against gram positive and negative cocci and gram positive bacilli only. it is not effective against rest of the organisms.
Are round shaped bacteria bacillus?
round cells are round discs with two large dimples at each side, and they are known as red blood cells. Their job is to carry oxygen to all your cells. The rounded shape gives extra surface area for picking up and carrying oxygen.
Where do you get bacilli?
You get bacilli from anywhere. It is type of microorganism and it can be found all over the place.
On he basis of nutrition how many types of bacteria are there?
There are three main types of bacteria based on nutrition: heterotrophic bacteria obtain nutrients from organic compounds, autotrophic bacteria can manufacture their own food using inorganic compounds, and saprophytic bacteria obtain nutrients from decaying organic matter.
How do bacillus and cocci differ on agar?
That really depends on what agar you are growing them on. If you are using growing agars such as BHI or blood, both will grow, and you won't be able to tell the difference when looking at them on the plate. If you use a selective agar that, lets say, will only grow cocci, then the bacilli won't grow. Or vice versa, if your selective agar only grows bacilli, then the cocci won't grow. If you use a differential agar, it may turn one a different color than the other -- for example, it may turn the bacillus blue, and the cocci may turn red. It is all dependent on the media you choose to grow your samples.
