- Baculiform — Having the shape of a small rod or an elongated cylinder; similar in geometric structural presentation or general appearance to a bacillus. In microscopic analysis, crystallography, and cellular morphology, the term is utilized to describe particles, organelles, or atypical cells that exhibit a straight, elongated configuration with rounded or blunt ends.
