- These organisms tend to reproduce and grow in groups, so instead of looking at each cell on its own, microbiologists study the arrangement of the cells. The arrangement of colonies of organisms like bacteria allows microbiologists to identify them, because these microorganisms tend to grow in specific patterns.

Aug 31, 2023 · There are three basic shapes of bacteria: coccus, bacillus, and spiral. Based on planes of division, the coccus shape can appear in several distinct arrangements: diplococcus, streptococcus, tetrad, ….
May 3, 2023 · This arrangement results when two bacterial cells occur as a pair (joined together). Some of the cells in this arrangement might remain spherical while some might appear flattened, elongated, or bean-shaped. Examples: Streptococcus pneumonia, Moraxella catarrhalis, Enterococcus spp, Neisseria gonorrhea. Tetrad
