| Morphology | spherical |
| Motility | |
| Specialized structures | Unicellular cyanobacteria that reproduce exclusively by multiple fission, leading to the formation and release of nonmotile baeocytes. The baeocyte enlarges into a spherical vegetative cell. The successive cleavage stages of multiple fission are readily detectable by light microscopy. |
