Morphology

Lamprobacter modestohalophilus

CELLULAR

Staining	Gram-negative
Morphology	Cells rod-shaped or ovoid, multiply by binary fission. Do not form typical aggregates
Motility	Motile by means of flagella during a certain stage of development. Motile cells are normally devoid of gas vacuoles.
Specialized structures	. Possess gas vacuoles located in the periphery or in the entire cytoplasm. Accumulate intracellular globules of sulfur when growing on media with sulfide or thiosulfate.. Bacteriocholoro-phyll a as well as carotenoid pigments are localized in the intracytoplasmic membrane system of vesicular type.
