What is Bacterial Shapes: Coccus, Bacillus, Spiral about?

Bacteria are prokaryotic, single-celled organisms that primarily exhibit three basic shapes: coccus (spherical), bacillus (rod-shaped), and spiral. The shape of bacteria is influenced by the protein MreB, which helps define their structure through various arrangements based on their planes of division. Additionally, there are exceptions to these shapes, including ultrasmall bacteria that have unique adaptations for nutrient absorption.
