Vogesella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the Neisseriaceae family. It was named after the doctor Otto Voges , whoisolatedthe type species Vogesella indigofera as Bacillus indigoferus .
description
The species of the genus Vogesella are rod-shaped, occasionally curved bacteria with an average size of 3.5 µm × 0.5 µm. They occur mainly individually, but also in pairs or in short chains. All strains of Vogesella are motile by means of a single polar flagellum and show very rapid straight or zigzag motility.
Colonies of Vogesella strains are conspicuously colored. In the early stages of growth they are translucent, slightly yellowish (16–20 hours), later slightly bluish (24 hours) and after 36–48 hours they are deep royal blue with a metallic, copper-colored sheen. The basis for the blue color is indigoid .
