Explanation / Answer
A) A cylindrical shaped bacteria exhibiting a variety of rod shapes - pleomorphic.
Pleomorphic cells are cylindrical shaped cells, which exhibit a variety of rod shapes, some large, some small, some cubed shaped.
B) A bend, or 'coma shapped' rod - Vibrio.
Vibrio is a curved and coma shaped rod bacteria.
C) Long, curved, flexible rod - spirochete.
Spirochetes are long, helical cells with a flexible cell wall and a unique mechanism of motility.
D) Long, curved rod - Spirillum.
Spirillum is a long and curved rod shaped.
E) A small, cylindrical shaped bacteria with a cocci appearance - coccobacillus.
A coccobacillus is a type of rod-shaped bacteria. Coccobacilli rods are so short and wide with resemble cocci.
