Government Relations. For nearly 40 years EFTA has provided its members with a chance to help shape the laws and regulations that govern the electronic payments industry. Congress and the administrative agencies, as well as the media and state agencies, all call on EFTA regularly to discuss the impact of potential laws or policies.
Shape of Bacterial Cell The three basic bacterial shapes are coccus (spherical), bacillus (rod-shaped), and spiral (twisted), however pleomorphic bacteria can assume several shapes. Shape of Bacterial Cell Cocci (or coccus for a single cell) are round cells, sometimes slightly flattened when they are adjacent to one another. Bacilli (or bacillus for a single cell) are rod-shaped bacteria.
The Nucleoid. The nucleoid (meaning nucleus-like) is an irregularly-shaped region within the cell of a prokaryote that contains all or most of the genetic material. In contrast to the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, it is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
