Cystobacter sp. Cb 502 is a mesophilic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium that forms bulky tough slimy dark reddish brown swarm with radial wires and cross folds, medium surround the swarm also brownish colored, no fruiting bodies on this medium colonies and builds a fruiting body with sporangioles and spores.

    [Ref.: #18281] Multicellular complex further description Tough, easily peelable
    slimy coating. Sporangiole are spherical to oval; crowded, densely in clusters, golden yellow colored, small, bear a striking similarity to Sorangium. Myxospores are short, thick,
    often bean-shaped, non-refractile, combined with 2 or 1 refractile granules, 1.7-2.2 µm long (usually about 2 µm) and 0.95-1.4 µm thick
    (usually about 1 µm). Sporangioles with distinct rough shells. Swarms often in oscillating waves. Sizes may differ on distinct cultivation media.
