Morphology Pimelobacter
CELLULAR  
Staining Gram positive but old cultures may be decolourized easily, not acid fast
Morphology have a makred rod-coccus cycle. Young cultures contains irregular rods 9o.5-1.2 x 1.0-7.0 um) mostly as single cells but often showing branching. Old cultures are predominantly coccoid cells.
Motility motile by peritrichous flagella
Specialized structures no spores+
