Morphology | Pseudonocardia |
CELLULAR |
Staining | Gram-positive |
Morphology | Substrate and aerial mycelium-bearing spores in chains, hyphae segmented, often zig-zag shaped, with tendency to forrm apical or intercalary swellings. Hyphal elongation by budding |
Motility | nonmotile |
Specialized structures | Segments acting directly as spores or being secondarily divided in sporulation process. Hyphal wall with two layers, cross-walls are interspace septa, spores without interspore pads |
