Question
in class prof mentioned
there is diplococcus & streptococci
but there's NO tetrad coccus or tetrad bacilli, we just call it tetrad bacteria or tetrad arrangement.
so my question is what about sarcinae? do we call it Sarcinae-coccus or just Sarcinae bacteria or Sarcina bacteria or Sarcinae arrangement?

answer my question or no credit will be given.
thanks
