Morphology | Cells rod-shaped, 0.3-1.0 x 0.6-10 um, arranged in filaments of variable length and with or without common sheath. Cells of some species contain gas vesicles. There may or may not be constrictions at cross-walls. Filaments bound together laterally to form rigid bundles or flat ribbons which may be straight, undulate in one plane, or spirally wound; the ends may appear more or less fibrous |
