Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Prokaryotes widely exist in three different shapes includes spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), and spiral shape (spirochetes). An example for a spherical shaped bacterium is Staphylococcus sp. Staphylococcus is a gram-positive cocci structured as grape-like clusters. If viewed under a microscope, these bacteria appear as round and are clustered together.
