Morphology

Thiopedia rosea

CELLULAR

Staining	Gram-negative
Morphology	Cells spherical to ovoid, multiplication by binary fission. Owing to consecutive divisions in two perpendicular planes, rectangular platelets with 4, 8, 16, 32 or more regularly arranged cells (up to 128 or 256 cells may stick together) are formed...
Motility	Nonmotile
Specialized structures	Cells contain irregularly shaped gas vacuoles in the central part. Photosynthetic pigments bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids are located in internal membrane systems of the vesicular type or the stack lamellar type during sulfide oxidation, globules of elemental sulfur are transiently formed in the gas vacuole-free peripheral part of the cells
