Linear transformation is also known as linear combination, and is a function in which values are combined by addition or subtraction (linear functions), not by multiplication (a non-linear function).

l-transformation L-shaped bacterial cells

Explanation:
"The external shapes of bacterial cells. The most common forms of bacteria are spherical (cocci), rod-shaped (bacilli), and spiral-shaped (vibrios and spirilla).

A distinct type of bacterium, called an L form, or L variant, is produced when a bacterium’s cell wall is partly or almost destroyed, or when the cell loses its ability to form a wall. Unlike spheroplasts and protoplasts, L forms retain their ability to grow and reproduce. They were discovered in 1935 by the English biologist E. Klieneberger-Nobel and were named L (Listeria) forms after the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine in London. L transformation can occur in most species of bacteria, including cocci, Escherichia coli, and Pasteurella."
