patrick nash Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Hello, in this picture i have attached below, I am having a hard time determining if my unknown is either coccus or bacillus shaped. I used a gram stain by thr way which tested negative.
CharonY Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Image is not good enough to tell for sure. What you saw directly is probably a better way to guess (i.e. whether majority are round or slightly elongated in one dimension). It also helps if you see them diffusing through the droplet for a little time as rods seen from the front can appear to be perfectly round, but reveal their shape when they start drifting.
