Description:Gram-negative bacterium living in dilute aquatic environments. Invariably differentiates and divides asymmetrically at each cell cycle. The stalked bacterium adheres to solid surfaces via a holdfast produced at the tip of the stalk.

The stalked cell acts like a stem cell, continually giving rise to a new swarmer motile cell at each division. The motile cell has a single polar flagellum. After the period of motility, the flagellum is released and the stalk develops. The swarmer cell is unable to initiate chromosome replication until it differentiates into a stalked cell.

Properties:Number of membranes : 2
Presence of a flagella : Yes
Number of inteins : 0
