This organism is rod-shaped, with slightly pointed and curved ends. It forms chains, with the cells overlapping each other. The ends of the cells make up about one-fifth to one-sixth of the cell length. When viewed from the side, the organism appears linear with slightly pointed tips. The surface of the organism has coarse ridges, and rows of small pores are also visible. This unique combination of features defines this particular organism.
