| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Gram negative |
| Morphology | Vegetative cells are cylindrical rods, 0.9-1.2 x 2.5-6 um, oftern with birght polar granules |
| Motility | gliding motility |
| Specialized structures | myxospores are optically refractile,
cylindrical rods with rounded ends 0.8-1.2 x 1.5-3.0 um Fruiting bodies are tiny spherical or polygonal sporangioles tightly packed together for form small dense parcels. The fruiting bodies is bright and varies from yelloe, orange, orange brown, ight to dark red-brown, deep brown andblack |
| Division |
| COLONIAL |
| Solid surface | Swarm colonies remain on the surface of the agar, forming a system of long radial veins The parcels ofsporangioles are clustered together into large masses and are porduced in enormous numbers, especially on filter paper cultures, forming a dense continuous layer On filter paper the sporangioles are often arranged in strings along the cellulose fibers |
