Morphology | Chroococcidiopsis |
CELLULAR |
Staining | |
Morphology | Cyanobacteria that undergo repeated binary fission in three planes to produce more or less regular cubical cell aggregates |
Motility | |
Specialized structures | Multiple fission occurs simultaneously in most cells of the aggregate and is followed by the massive release of nonmotile baeocytes. The baeocyte initiates growth by enlarging symmetrically into a spherical vegetative cell that, just before the onset of binary fission, attains a size that is characteristic and constant for any given strain. |
