English: Schematic diagram of cellular growth (elongation) and binary fission of bacilli. Blue and red lines indicate old and newly-generated bacterial cell wall, respectively. (1) growth at the center of bacterial body. e.g. Bacillus subtilis, E. coli, and so on. (2) apical growth. e.g. Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
A bacillus (pl.: bacilli), also called a bacilliform bacterium or often just a rod (when the context makes the sense clear), is a rod-shaped bacterium or archaeon. Bacilli are found in many different taxonomic groups of bacteria. However, the name Bacillus, capitalized and italicized, refers to a specific genus of
Bacillus (Latin "stick") is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, a member of the phylum Bacillota, with 266 named species.The term is also used to describe the shape (rod) of other so-shaped bacteria; and the plural Bacilli is the name of the class of bacteria to which this genus belongs.

Fission, in biology, is the division of a single entity into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts to separate entities resembling the original. The object experiencing fission is usually a cell , but the term may also refer to how organisms , bodies, populations , or species split into discrete parts.
The structure of peptidoglycan Bacterial cell walls. The cell envelope is composed of the cell membrane and the cell wall.As in other organisms, the bacterial cell wall provides structural integrity to the cell.
Rod-shaped Bacillus subtilis The word bacteria is the plural of the Neo-Latin bacterium , which is the romanisation of the Ancient Greek βακτήριον ( baktḗrion ), [ 6 ] the diminutive of βακτηρία ( baktēría ), meaning "staff, cane", [ 7 ] because the first ones to be discovered were rod-shaped .
Bacilli is a taxonomic class of bacteria that includes two orders, Bacillales and Lactobacillales, which contain several well-known pathogens such as Bacillus anthracis (the cause of anthrax). Bacilli are almost exclusively gram-positive bacteria .
