Cell shapes vary between spherical and irregular in this context. These cells form colonies ranging from microscopic to macroscopic, characterized by a mucilaginous nature. The cells within these colonies exhibit irregular arrangements with differing densities. The colonial mucilage is predominantly uniform and colorless, typically featuring a diffuse margin rather than a clearly defined one. Cell division occurs through binary fission in two perpendicular planes, leading to successive generations. Reproduction is achieved through the disintegration of colonies.
