👉 In biology, a polycoccus is a type of bacterium that has two or more types of cells. These cells are known as polyploids and can be classified into two main groups: polycyclic (polycoccus) and polycystic (polycystin). Polycyclic bacteria have the ability to form colonies, which are usually large in number but small in size, while polycystic bacteria have a single cell per colony.
