The formation of patterns in the growth of bacterial colonies has extensively been studied experimentally. Resulting morphologies appear to depend on the growth conditions. They include well known morphologies such as dense branched morphology (DBM) or diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA), but much complex patterns and temporal behaviour can be fou
[2]: 518 The microbiologist examines the appearance of the colony, noting specific features such as size, colour, shape, consistency, and opacity. [1]: 165–8 A hand lens or magnifying glass may be used to view colonies in greater detail. [3]: 96 The opacity of a microbial colony can be described as transparent, translucent, or opaque.

The colony morphology itself also displays several varieties. The main two types are large, smooth, with a flat edge and elevated center and small, rough, and convex. [83] A third type, mucoid, can also be found. The large colony can typically be found in clinal settings while the small is found in nature. [83]
Cyanobacterial morphology refers to the form or shape of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are a large and diverse phylum of bacteria defined by their unique combination of pigments and their ability to perform oxygenic photosynthesis. [2] [3] Cyanobacteria often live in colonial aggregates that can take a multitude of forms. [3]
Colony ontogeny refers to the developmental process and progression of a colony. It describes the various stages and changes that occur within a colony from its initial formation to its mature state. [14] The exact duration and dynamics of colony ontogeny can vary greatly depending on the species and environmental conditions.
The morphology is quite variable and seems to depend, in part, on the age of the culture as the smallest form observed, coming from the elementary body, is 80nm to 100nm wide in diameter. [13] Different cell forms have been observed varying from coccoid cells to filaments and irregularly shaped structures with coccoid forms and ring- or disc ...
