| Morphology | Hyphomonas |
| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Gram-negative. Not acid-fast |
| Morphology | The main cell body of the rod-shaped to oval mature cells measures 0.5-1.0 um x 1.0-3.0 um and may become larger and rounder just prior to bud formation |
| Motility | Motile by means of a single polar to lateral flagellum located on developing buds or young daughter cells. |
| Specialized structures | . Buds are produced at tips of polar hyphae (prosthecae) which measure 0.2-0.3 um in diameter and are 1-5 times the length of the cell body. Hyphae are nonseptate and rarely branch under normal growth conditions.Pleomorphic. Young daughter cells (i.e. newly formed buds) are oval to pear-shaped, lack hyphae, and are smaller than the mother cell. Non-sporeforming |
