| Morphology | Seliberia stellata |
| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Gram-negative |
| Morphology | Rods, 0.5-0.8 um in diameter and 1-12 um in length, with a helically sculptured or furrowed topography. The ends of the cell may be either blunt or rounded |
| Motility | A single subpolar ensheathed flagellum is characteristically present on the swarmer, several lateral flagella, not ensheathed, may also be present. |
| Specialized structures | . Stellate aggregates (rosettes) of sessile rods joined at one pole; and individual, shorter motile rods (swarmers) occur in the same culture. An adhesive holdfast, secreted at one cell pole, mediates attachment in rosettes Capsules are not produced. Resting stages are not known. Following unidirectional polar cell growth, a shorter motile cell (a swarmer) and a longer sessile call are produced by asymmetric transverse fission. |
| Division | Growth on appropriate soil extract media may permit formation of round to ovoid "generative" cells |
