Microscopic examination of the potato salad should reveal <u>clusters of round shape bacterium. </u>
Staphylococcus or Staphylococcal are those that are round in shape (from the word 'coccus') and occur in clusters as opposed to individually or in chains. The word is derived from two Greek words - <em>staphyle</em> which means <em>bunch of grapes</em> and <em>kokkos</em> which means <em>to be round</em>.
Hence, <u>when a magnified image of the Staphylococcus aureus is produced by the microscope, clusters of round shape bacteria would be seen</u>.
An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).
