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.
Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria.
Bacteria are considered decomposers, as they break down organic matter. Primary consumers are organisms that feed directly on producers (plants) in a food chain. Thus, bacteria are not considered primary consumers in ecological terms.
MreB is the most common one, and gives bacteria their tubular form. Then there is Crescentin, which is involved in formation of the crescent shape of some bacteria.
No. Bacilli have a rod-like shape. The round ones are called cocci. The singular is coccus - as in staphylococcus.
The most common shape of bacteria seen in a typical cheek smear is cocci, which are spherical or round in shape.
The bacteria that can change shape call pleomorphic

Bacteria in which consume other bacteria. ie: not autotrophs (primary producers)
cocci bacteria are round in shape
Streptococcus, the bacteria that causes strep throat, is spherical (cocci) in shape.
The shape of a virus that attacks bacteria is typically cylindrical or polyhedral. These viruses that infect bacteria are known as bacteriophages and come in various shapes and sizes.
Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria.
