Conexibacter
Classification
Domain: Bacteria Phylum: Actinobaceria Class: Actinobaceria Sub-Class: Rubrobacteridae Order: Solirubrobacteriales Family: Conexibacteraceae Genus: Conexibacter Species: C. woesei (type strain), and C. arvalis
Description
Bacteria of the genus Conexibacter are characterized as small rods with width of 0.6-0.7 um and length of 0.9-1.2 um. They are Gram-positive, aerobic, non-sporulating and are motile by a 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.
