Colony morphology is one among the various characters of bacteria, which is also unique to a particular genus of bacteria that could be instrumental in preliminary identification. Size (measured in millimetres - pinpoint (≤ 1 mm), small (2-3 mm), medium (4-5 mm), and large (> 5 mm) colonies), shape (circular, irregular, rhomboid, umbonate, umbonate, filamentous, or rhizoid)

Kandi lists rhizoid as a bacterial colony shape value distinct from circular, irregular, and filamentous forms.
