This document provides an overview of bacterial morphology and classification. It begins by describing the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Bacteria are identified as prokaryotes that are unicellular, lack organelles, and have their genetic material in the form of a single chromosome. The document then discusses bacterial size, shapes (cocci, bacilli, vibrios, etc.), and microscopy techniques used to visualize them. It also explains staining methods like Gram staining that are used to differentiate bacterial structures and aid identification.
