Domain:
Bacteria
Phylum:
Pseudomonadota
Class:
Gammaproteobacteria

Genus:
Azomonas

Winogradsky 1938
Species

Azomonas agilis
Azomonas insignis
Azomonas macrocytogenes

Azomonas species are typically motile, oval to spherical, and secrete large quantities of capsular slime. They are distinguished from Azotobacter by their inability to form cysts, but like Azotobacter, they can biologically fix nitrogen under aerobic conditions (diazotrophs).

Bacteria of the genus Azomonas are known to form intracellular inclusions of polyhydroxyalkanoates under certain environmental conditions (e.g. lack of elements such as phosphorus, nitrogen, or oxygen combined with an excessive supply of carbon sources).
