FIG. 15. Various forms of Bacteria, x 1,000. A, Staphylococci 

 (groups) and Streptococci (curved chains) from pus (the large 

 spherical body is a pus corpuscle). B, Nitrosomonas, a nitrifying 

 bacterium from soil, with single flagellum. C, Bacillus typhosus 

 (typhoid), showing flagella. D. Bacillus anthracis (anthrax), 

 showing spores (one in the centre of each cell). E, Bacillus 

 tetani (tetanus). Note the spherical spore at one end of and 

 much broader than the cell. F, Cholera spirillum, with a flagellum 

 at each end of the cell. G, Spirochcete pallida (syphilis spirillum).
