Morphologies and
Arrangements
What is a bacteria?
Prokaryotic microorganism that is too small to be
seen without an unaided eye
Bacteria are found everywhere from hot springs to
on your own skin.
How big do you think bacteria are?
They range in size from 0.2 2.0 micrometers
That is super small because there are 1,000,000
What is a Prokaryote?
A prokaryote is a unicellular organism
Has a single circular chromosome of DNA
DNA NOT enclosed within a membrane
Does NOT have membrane-enclosed organelles.
What is a Morphology?
The form and structure of a particular organism,
organ, tissue or cell.
This includes the shape and other externally
visible characteristics of the cell or colony of
bacteria.
Why is Morphology
Important?
Helps identify bacterial species
May assist motility of bacteria
May have selective benefits for survival of
bacteria
Types of Morphologies
1) Bacillus = rod/cigar shaped
Types of Morphologies
2.) Coccus = spherical shaped
EX: Streptococcus
Types of Morphologies
3.) Coccobacilli = potato/cigar butt shaped
Shape in between a Coccus and a Bacillus
EX: Chlamydia trachomatis
Types of Morphologies
4.) Spirilla = Spiral shaped
EX: Spirillum minus = rat bite fever
Types of Morphologies
5.) Vibrios = slightly curved rods
EX: Cholera
Recap:
Morphology refers to the shape of the bacterial
cell
Arrangement describes the different types of
divisions that may occur
5 Types of
Morphologies:
1.) Bacillus

Arrangements in
Cocci:
1.) Diplococcus
2.) Streptococcus
3.) Tetrads
4.) Sacrina
5.)
Staphylococcus
