Clumps
Answer
a cocci looks like a ball. Two balls together gives you Diplococci (pairs). A chain of balls give you Streptococci. A cluster of grapes formation gives you Staphylococci. Packets of 4 cocci are called tetrads.
Spiral
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.
Bacillus
Some examples of rod-shaped bacteria include Escherichia coli (E. coli), Bacillus subtilis, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These bacteria are characterized by their elongated, cylindrical shape, which can be seen under a microscope.
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.
Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria.

The bacteria that can change shape call pleomorphic

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.
Round bacteria are cocci.
Cell wall is the firm protective structure that provides shape and support to plant cells, fungi, most bacteria, and some protists. It is made up of cellulose in plants, chitin in fungi, and peptidoglycan in bacteria.
