| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Moraxella |
| Species: | Moraxella lincolnii |
| Description: | Cells are gram-negative, nonmotile, coccus-like to plump rods 1 to 1.5 μm wide and 1.5 to 2.5 μm long.The cells often occur in pairs and may form short chains. After 2 days of incubation, colonies are whitish, smooth, convex, and circular and have a diameter of 1 to 3 mm. The colonies of some strains may have a flattened edge.
