The life cycle of Nocardia starts-with the microcyst, which germinates by budding. The bud develops into a long multinucleate filament, which becomes divided into individual cells by the formation of transverse cell walls. Microcysts are formed in the same manner as in the Eubacteria. Multiplication of the cells takes place by simple fission, by complex vegetative reproduction, and by branching. They do not have a prolonged diploid phase like the Actinomyces.
