| Morphology | Labrys monachus |
| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Gram-negative |
| Morphology | Unicellular flat bacterium; cells possess triangular radial symmetry. Dimensions are 1.1-1.3 x 1.3-1.5 um. |
| Motility | nonmotile |
| Specialized structures | Two to three tapering short prosthecae (< 0.6 um) protrude from two corners of the triangle; the third remains free and is associated with multiplication. Cells divide by budding. Buds are produced directly from the mother cell at the tip of the triangle lacking prosthecae. In this stage, cells resemble a double-headed axe or labrys., do not possess fimbriae |
