Moraxellales
Moraxellales is an order of bacteria belonging to the phylum Actinobacteria. It is a relatively small order, containing only two families: Moraxellaceae and Solirubrobacteraceae. The order is characterized by its Gram-positive, aerobic, and non-motile bacteria. The cells are typically rod-shaped and form chains or clusters. The order is named after the type genus Moraxella, which was first described in 1984.
Moraxellales bacteria are commonly found in soil and water environments. They play a role in the decomposition
The order is further divided into two families: Moraxellaceae, which contains the genus Moraxella, and Solirubrobacteraceae,
Despite their ecological importance, little is known about the physiology and metabolism of Moraxellales bacteria. Further
