The researcher cataloged the bacilliforms observed in the sediment sample.

Under the electron microscope, the bacilliform cells appeared aligned end to end, forming long chains.

The researchers isolated a bacilliform from the contaminated soil to study its antibiotic resistance.

During infection, the bacteria upregulated production of bacillibactin to scavenge iron from host proteins.

The specimen exhibited bacilliary characteristics that suggested the presence of a bacillus.

Before disposing of the culture, the technician added a small amount of bacillicide to ensure all bacilli were eliminated.

The hospital switched to a bacillicidal disinfectant after the outbreak was traced to contaminated equipment.
