Unicellular microorganisms with spherical (cocci), rod-like (rods) or corkscrew-like (spirals) shapes. Additionally, bacteria are distinguished by their physiological-biochemical characteristics, for example:

- their dependency on temperature and pH value,
- their need for nutrients,
- and their staining (Gram-positive, Gram-negative)
