Original Description
expand / minimize
Stalked bacteria, the long axis of the elongated cells coinciding with the axis of the stalk. Stalks are slender, flagellum-like, often attached to the substrate by a button-like holdfast, unbranched. Multiplication of cells by transervse-binary fission. The outermost cell of a pair may form a stalk before cell division is complete. Periphytic, growing upon submerged surfaces.
