SSC CGL - 18 Sep 2024 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q44

Identify a spiral-shaped bacteria.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Spirillum.

Spirillum bacteria have a helical or spiral shape, which allows them to move efficiently through liquid environments. They are often found in aquatic habitats and are known for their flagella that aid in their motility.

Spirillum is distinct from other bacterial shapes like Bacillus (rod-shaped), Coccus (spherical), and Vibrio (comma-shaped), making it unique in terms of structure and movement.
