| Staining | |
| Morphology | The norcardioforms form a fugacious mycelium that breaks up into rod shaped or coccoid elements.Branching vegative hyhpae (0.5-2.0 um in diameter) tend to fragment into squarish elements. |
| Motility | |
| Specialized structures | Aerial hyphae when present may be sterile or may differentiate into long chains of smooth walled squarish to ellipsoidal spore like structures. Spore chains are also porduced on vegative hyphae |
