| Morphology | Saccharomonospora |
| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Gram-positive, non-acid fast |
| Morphology | produce single spores on aerial hyphae |
| Motility | |
| Specialized structures | spores are heat sensitive aleuriospores that are either sessile or formed at the tips of simple unbranched sporophores |
| Division |
| COLONIAL |
| Solid surface | Branched vegetative mycelium forms leathery colonies, usually covered with aerial mycelium in which the spores are densely packed alonge the hyphae. The aerial mycelium is intially white but it becomes gray green to dark green or bluish |
