Determining a building's construction type is dependent on quite a number of different factors and requires a keen eye for detail. If you would like to be able to identify a building's construction type, start with Step 1 below for an overview of how it's done.
Staphylococcus bacteria. A coccus (plural cocci) is any bacterium that has a spherical, ovoid, or generally round shape. It is one of the three distinct bacterial shapes, the other two being bacillus (rod-shaped) and spiral-shaped cells. Cocci is an English loanword of a modern or neo-Latin noun, which in turn stems from the Greek masculine noun kokkos (ÎºÏÎºÎºÎ¿Ï) meaning berry.
Bacteria, which are spherical or ovoid in shape, are called âcoccusâ (plural: cocci) (Figure 2.2). Based on the arrangement of the cells they are of the following types. (a) Coccus: The spherical bacteria cells, called cocci, are present as single individuals. (b) Diplococcus: The cocci are arranged in pairs. (c) Streptococcus: The cocci are arranged in chains, as the cells divide in one plane. (d) Tetrads: The cocci are arranged in packets of four cells, as the cells divide in two plains. (e) Staphylococcus: The cocci are arranged in grape-like clusters formed by irregular cell divisions in three plains.
