A sphere shaped bacterium is a coccus, the plural is cocci.

Cocci can appear singly, or in twos (diplococci), as a chain (streptococci), or in clusters like a bunch of grapes (staphylococci.)

What are the three categories for bacteria based on shape?

The simplest shape is a round sphere or ball. Bacteria formed like this are called cocci (singular coccus). The next simplest shape is cylindrical. Cylindrical bacteria are called rods (singular rod). Some bacteria are basically rods but instead of being straight they are twisted or bent or curved, sometimes in a spiral - these bacteria are called spirilla (singular spirillum). Spirochaetes are tightly coiled up bacteria.
