| Morphology | Kibdelosporangium |
| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Gram-positive. Notacid fast |
| Morphology | Filamentous, with well-developed, moderately branched vegetative hyphae (0.4-1.0 um in diameter) that penetrate the agar and form a compact layer on top of the agar. The vegetative hyphae may exhibit varying degrees of fragmentation and frequently bear specialized structures that appear to be dichotomously branched, septate hyphae radiating from a common stalk |
| Motility | Nonmotile |
| Specialized structures | The aerial hyphae bear both long chains of conidia and sporangium-like structures. These structures are surrounded by a well-defined wall but contain hyphae embedded in an amorphous matrix rather than spores. They germinate directly no sclerotia, or synnemata are present |

| Unique features | Cell walls contain meso- diaminopimelic acid (meso-DAP), glutamic acid, alanine, muramic acid, glucosamine, galactose, and a minor amount of arabinose. Whole-cell hydrolysates contain galactose and arabinose; traces of madurose are also usually present. Contain diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylinositol mannosides; phosphatidylmethylethanolamine may also be present. No mycolic acids are present. |
