Classification of bacteria based on the shape/cocci / Bacilli/ Vibrio/ Spirilla / Spirochaete/ Tamil

In this video, the classification of bacteria based on the shape of the organisms were discussed. Bacteria are classified as cocci, bacilli, vibrio, spirilla and Spirochaete based on the shape. A cocci is a bacteria that has a spherical, ovoid, or generally round shape. Cocci are further classified as Monococcus, Diplococcus, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Tetrad and Sarcina based on their arrangement. A bacilli is a rod or cylindrical shape bacteria, and it is further classified as Diplobacillus, Streptobacillus, Coccobacillus and Pallisades based on their arrangement. Spirilla (or spirillum for a single cell) is curved bacteria which can range from a gently curved shape to a corkscrew-like spiral. Many spirilla are rigid and capable of movement. A special group of spirilla known as spirochetes are long, slender, and flexible. It is further classified as vibrio, spirilla and spirochaetes.
