Morphology

Deleya

CELLULAR

Staining	Gram negative
Morphology	Straight rods (0.8-1.1 x 1.5- 3.0 um)
Motility	Most species are motile by 4-12 peritrichous flagella. Deleya marina is motile by 2-5 polar flagella
Specialized structures	accumulate poly beta-hydroxybutrate as an intracellular reserve. Involution forms are present in old cultures or under adverse conditions
