Answer:

The given blank can be filled with pleomorphic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pleomorphism, in microbiology, refers to the tendency of some of the microbes like bacteria to change their size or shape in response to the environmental conditions. In the context of bacteriology, pleomorphism is based upon the change in the shape or size of the cell, in spite of a change of shape as considered previously.
