Bacteria primarily exhibit three basic shapes: cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). These shapes can influence their function and how they interact with their environment. Some bacteria may also display variations or combinations of these shapes, such as vibrios (comma-shaped) or filamentous forms. Overall, the shape of a bacterium is a key characteristic used in their classification and identification.
