| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Gram-negative |
| Morphology | irregular shape |
| Motility | Nonmotile. |
| Specialized structures | form prosthecae of
irregular length, wide at the base and pointed at the end
The length of prosthecae can exceed the cell diameter.
These bacteria multiply by unequal fission and form
irregular chains of cells and typical perforated
microcolonies.. Contain bacteriochlorophylls and
carotenoid pigments. The photo-synthetic apparatus includes antenna structures of the chlorosome type and ovoid vesicles underlying and attached to the cytoplasmic membrane Cells contain gas vacuoles |
