==Taxonomy and microbiological characteristics==
''Moraxella atlantae'' was first described as a new species in 1976 based on biochemical and [[microbiological culture |microbiological growth]] characteristics:<ref name="Bøvre">Bøvre, K., et al. "Moraxella atlantae sp. nov. and its distinction from Moraxella phenylpyrouvica." International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology 26.4 (1976): 511-521.</ref> It resembled ''[[Moraxella phenylpyruvica]]'', but differed in "simultaneous lack of [[urease]] and [[phenylalanine]] and [[tryptophan]] [[deaminase]] activities, inability to grow on solid medium at 4 to 10°C, relative salt sensitivity, and different behaviour on bile-containing media."<ref name="Bøvre" /> In difference it also contains n-octadecanol and [[mannose]].<ref name="Bøvre" />
It is a [[non-fermenter]] and has been difficult to identify by biochemical phenotypic characteristics, like [[Analytical profile index|API]].<ref name="Moraxella-atlantae"/>
It was previously known as CDC group M-3.<ref name="Moraxella-atlantae"/> In 2008, the Judicial Commission of the International Committee for Systematics of Prokaryotes ruled that Moraxella (subgen. Moraxella Lwoff 1939) atlantae should have been included on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Judicial Commission of the International Committee for Systematics of Prokaryotes |date=2008-07-01 |title=The subgenus names Moraxella subgen. Moraxella and Moraxella subgen.
