It looks like a bacteria of some sort without a flaggelum, maybe gram positive. If I had to bet, I'd bet on some kind of lactobacillus :)

- giarc 9y agoRod shaped bacterium are hardly ever Gram positive. Gram positive are defined by their thick layer of peptidoglycan. Because it is a thick, strong structure, it naturally sticks to round shapes. Gram negatives also have a layer of peptidoglycan, but much thinner. Therefore they can form rods that have bends and straight sections as they are not constrained by their thick structure.
