Bacillus is a genus of rod-shaped bacteria and a member of the division Firmicutes. Bacillus species are obligate aerobes. There are three main shapes of bacteria: bacillus, coccus, and spiral. Bacillus, or rod shaped bacteria, are one of the main forms, and are typically 0.5 micrometers to 1.0 micrometer in width, and from 1.0 micrometer to 4.0 micrometers in length.Examples of bacilli include Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium that causes anthrax, and the well known E. coli.nother common shape of bacteria is the coccus. Cocci are spherically shaped bacteria that organize in several distinct arrangements when in groups: diplococcus, tetrad, sarcina, and staphylococcus arrangements. Cocci that divide in multiple planes and form grape like clusters or sheets are called staphylococci. Bacilli. Since bacilli only divide across their short axis there are fewer groupings. Bacillus is a shape (rod shaped) but there is also a genus of bacteria with the name Bacillus.he Size, Shape, And Arrangement Of Bacterial Cells. Most bacteria are 0.2 um in diameter and 2-8 um in length. The three basic bacterial shapes are coccus (spherical), bacillus (rod-shaped), and spiral (twisted), however pleomorphic bacteria can assume several shapes. Arrangement of cocci. 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. 1  Cocci (or coccus for a single cell) are round cells, sometimes slightly flattened when they are adjacent to one another.or rod-shaped or filamentous bacteria, length is 1-10 µm and diameter is 0.25-1 .0 µm. 1  E. coli, a bacillus of about average size is 1.1 to 1.5 µm wide by 2.0 to 6.0 µm long. 2  Spirochaetes occasionally reach 500 µm in length and the cyanobacterium. 3  Oscillatoria is about 7 µm in diameter.
