Description
Bacteria of the genus Conexibacter are characterized as small rods with width of 0.6-0.7 µm and length of 0.9-1.2 µm. They are Gram-positive, aerobic, non-sporulating and are motile by characteristic long peritrichous flagella. They have a G+C content of 71 mol% and are catalase and oxidase positive. The type strain of this genus is Conexibacter woesei named in honor of Carl R. Woese, a pioneer with this work on the use of 16S rRNA for phylogenetic analysis. C. woesei was isolated from forest soil in Gerenzano, Italy and is known to reduce nitrate into nitrite with optimal growth at pH 7-7.5 and at 28-37ºC.
