| Morphology | |
| Motility | non motile |
| Specialized structures | Unicellular cyanobacteria with buds. Mother cell is 3.5-5 microns in diameter |
| Division | Reproduce exclusively by budding.The small spherical buds are produced in succession at one pole of the mother cell. This mode of reproduction confers an intrinsic polarity on the cell. |
