MORAXELLA PLURANIMALIUM
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Moraxella |
| Species: | Moraxella pluranimalium |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative cocci (1.5–2.0μm in diameter).Non-spore-forming. Catalase-positive, oxidase-positive and aerobic. Colonies are circular, non-pigmented, smooth and entire and do not produce a diagnostic odour on Columbia blood agar after 48 h incubation at 37°C.Growth occurs at 22–37°C but not at 42, 15 or 4°C.Growth is enhanced in 5–10 % CO2(demonstrating capnophily) on 5 % sheep blood agar and chocolate agar.Growth does not occur on MacConkey agar. |
