Morphology Naumanniella
CELLULAR  
Staining  
Morphology Cells most often rod-shaped, sometimes ellipsoidal or almost coccoid, with each cell surrounded by a delicate, regular capsule which becomes encrusted with iron oxide (yellow or rust-brown) or manganese oxide (dark brown to black). Capsular encrustation emphasizes the cell margin and gives the appearance of a chain link.
Motility  
Specialized structures Multiplication by fission, but a budding mechanism has been claimed for two species. Some cells may show a morphology reminiscent of branching (Y shapes), but this may be due to the budding process.
