What shape do bacilli bacteria have?
Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria.
Which protein decides shape of bacteria?
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.
Are bacteria with a round shape called a bacilli?
No. Bacilli have a rod-like shape. The round ones are called cocci. The singular is coccus - as in staphylococcus.
What is the most common shape of bacteria seen in a typical cheek smear?
The most common shape of bacteria seen in a typical cheek smear is cocci, which are spherical or round in shape.
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.
A bacteria that can change shape are called?
The bacteria that can change shape call pleomorphic
What are the morphological types of bacteria?
Coccus(Round shape), Bacillus(Rod shape), Spiral bacteria(Motile bacteria having a helical or spiral shape) By Arcangel Meynard
What shape is meningococcus?
cocci bacteria are round in shape
What shape is strep throat bacteria?
Streptococcus, the bacteria that causes strep throat, is spherical (cocci) in shape.
What is the shape of virus that attacks bacteria?
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.

Why do bacteria maintain only one shape?
I'm going to give the nonscientific answer, a bacteria can only maintain one shape because it don't have enough cells to mold into another shape there for it is not multicellular (or it is I think it depends on if its arche or EU bacteria).
