Malonomonas is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, chemoorganotrophic, anaerobic and motile genus of bacteria with single polar flagellum from the family of Pelobacteraceae with one known species (Malonomonas rubra).[1][2][3][4][5] Strains of Malonomonas have been isolated from anoxic sediments.[6] the bacteria Malonomonas rubra bacteria metabolizes malonate.[7]
