Description:
The organisms exhibit a diverse range of body shapes, including straight, twisted, curved, and extended forms. The trichomes, which are straight and flexuous, take on a filamentous structure. Terminal cells within these trichomes are conical or gradually tapering, featuring rounded or sharply pointed ends. Specifically, the straight trichomes have terminal cells that resemble needle-like structures with sharp points. Aerotopes are typically present, and akinetes are located near the ends or slightly off the center in the trichomes.
