Fundamental principles of microbiology
1
Round or oval bodies as they lack cell wall. So shape is not fixed.
Mycoplasmas
2
Branching filamentous bacteria
Actinomycetes
3
Comma shaped bacteria
Vibrio
4
Spiral (Helical) or spring shaped bacteria look like corkscrews
Spirilla
5
Rod shaped or cylindrical bacteria
Bacilli
6
Bacteria spherical or round in shape
Cocci
7
It is staining method which differentiates morphologically similar organisms, by staining with more than one stain
Differential staining
8
It is culture which contains growth of two or more organisms
Mixed culture
9
It is macroscopic growth of single microscopic cell that grows on solid growth medium
Colony
