Moraxella bovis is a Gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase-positive diplococcus implicated in infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis, an eye disease of cattle,[1][2] also colloquially known as pinkeye or New Forest eye.[3]. M.bovis was first associated with cattle pinkeye in 1915 in Bengal, India[4]
The restriction enzyme MboI, widely used in biotechnology, is isolated from this species.[5]
