"Spiral-shaped bacteria are generally aerobic, but a subset of the group uses anaerobic respiration."
Explanation: Shape (spiral) does not fix metabolic type. Spiral bacteria (e.g., Spirillum species) are often aerobic, but other spiral groups (some spirochetes) include microaerophiles, anaerobes, and other metabolic types.
