Morphology discoid
Motility slow gliding motility under most conditions.
Specialized structures Nodularia has vegitative cells, akinetes and heterocysts that are shorter than broad and often referred to as discoid or disklike. cell breadth is constant the entire length of the trichome. the compressed heterocysts are intercalary,with equally compressed akinetes (often in series) forming usually distant from heterocysts.
