When rod-shaped bacteria occur in pairs then the arrangement of cells is known as?
Correct answer: A. Diplobacillus
- A. Diplobacillus
- B. Bacillus
- C. Streptobacillus
- D. Staphylobacillus
Explanation
It is a consequence of single division and daughter cells remain attached after division. When rod-shaped bacteria occur in pairs, the arrangement of cells is known as "diplobacilli." In this arrangement, two rod-shaped bacterial cells are arranged side by side, forming a pair or diplo configuration. Diplobacilli are a specific type of bacterial cell arrangement and can be a characteristic feature used in the identification and classification of bacteria. The term "diplo" is derived from the Greek word "diploos," meaning double or twofold.
