| Morphology | spherical |
| Motility | motile baeocytes |
| Specialized structures | Unicellular cyanobacteria that reproduce exclusively by multiple fission leading to the formation and release of motile baeocytes. The baeocyte enlarges into a vegetative cell that is intrinsically spherical, showing no polarity, but may become pyriform or cleavate when development occurs under crowded conditions. The successive cleavage stages of multiple fission are not normally detectable by light microscopy. |
