Morphology | Nevskia ramosa |
CELLULAR |
Staining | Gram-negative |
Morphology | Cells elongated rod-shaped, usually slightly bent with acellular hyaline stalks |
Motility | In young cultures, cells motile by means of polar flagella; they are set free from the stalks and can start new colonies |
Specialized structures | The stalks branch dichotomously as a result of binary fission of mature cells and the preference for laterally excreted slime material Undisturbed and slowly growing cells form bushlike microcolonies) up to 80 um in size on the surface of freshwater. Faster growth results in the formation of a thin surface pellicle without distinct stalks and with polymer all around the cells. Cells filled with numerous globules which consist mainly of poly-B-hydroxybutyrate. Resting stages are now known. |
