Gracilibacillus is a genus of bacteria within the phylum Bacillota. [2] Species within this genus are generally halotolerant. [3] [4]
Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Pseudomonadota.
Chromohalobacter is a gram negative, oxidase and catalase positive, rod shaped, motile marine Pseudomonadota. It is commonly found in marine environments. Two species of Chromohalobacter was isolated from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Colonies are medium-sized, round and yellowish. It was established by Ventosa and others in 1989, with the reclassification of Chromobacterium marismortui as Chromohalobacter marismortui. As of 2007, it comprised the following species:
Thermoanaerobacter is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria). Members of this genus are thermophilic and anaerobic, several of them were previously described as Clostridium species and members of the now obsolete genera Acetogenium and Thermobacteroides
Desulfosporosinus is a genus of strictly anaerobic, sulfate-reducing bacteria, often found in soil.
Alcanivorax pacificus is a pyrene-degrading marine gammaproteobacterium. It is of the genus Alcanivorax, a group of marine bacteria known for degrading hydrocarbons. When originally proposed, the genus Alcanivorax comprised six distinguishable species. However, A. pacificus, a seventh strain, was isolated from deep sea sediments in the West Pacific Ocean by Shanghai Majorbio Bio-pharm Technology Co., Ltd. in 2011. A. pacificus’s ability to degrade hydrocarbons can be employed for cleaning up oil-contaminated oceans through bioremediation. The genomic differences present in this strain of Alcanivorax that distinguish it from the original consortium are important to understand to better utilize this bacteria for bioremediation.
Virgibacillus carmonensis is a bacterium. It is Gram-positive, rod-shaped and moderately halophilic, originally isolated from deteriorated mural paintings. LMG 20964T is its type strain.
Virgibacillus necropolis is a bacterium. It is Gram-positive, rod-shaped and moderately halophilic, originally isolated from deteriorated mural paintings. LMG 19488T is its type strain.
Gracilibacillus halotolerans is a Gram-positive, extremely halotolerant bacteria, the type species of its genus. Its type strain is NNT.
Virgibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria and a member of the phylum Bacillota. Virgibacillus species can be obligate aerobes, or facultative anaerobes and catalase enzyme positive. Under stressful environmental conditions, the bacteria can produce oval or ellipsoidal endospores in terminal, or sometimes subterminal, swollen sporangia. The genus was recently reclassified from the genus Bacillus in 1998 following an analysis of the species V. pantothenticus. Subsequently, a number of new species have been discovered or reclassified as Virgibacillus species.
Virgibacillus salexigens is a species of Gram-positive bacteria.
Halolactibacillus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae.
Pontibacillus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming and strictly aerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae.
Salibacterium halochares is a Gram-positive, aerobic and halophilic bacterium from the genus of Salibacterium which has been isolated from a saltern from Mesolongi in Greece.
Salipaludibacillus neizhouensis is a Gram-positive, facultatively alkaliphilic, slightly halophilic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped, aerobic and non-motil bacterium from the genus of Salipaludibacillus which has been isolated from a sea anemone from Neizhou Bay from the South China Sea.
Sediminibacillus is a genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae. Sediminibacillus species are halophilic bacteria and found in salty human stools and marine sponges. Sediminibacillus species are identified from Plakortis dariae sponge of the Saint Martin's island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Virgibacillus marismortui is a Gram-positive, moderately halophilic and rod-shaped bacterium which has been isolated from water from the Dead Sea.
Kushneria indalinina is a moderately halophilic, Gram-negative, aerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of Kushneria which has been isolated from a solar saltern from Cabo de Gata.
Alkalihalobacillus is a genus of gram-positive or gram-variable rod-shaped bacteria in the family Bacillaceae from the order Bacillales. The type species of this genus is Alkalihalobacillus alcalophilus.
Alkalicoccus is a genus of Gram-Positive rod-shaped bacteria in the family Bacillaceae from the order Bacillales. The type species of this genus is Alkalicoccus saliphilus.
Alkalicoccus saliphilus is a Gram-positive and haloalkaliphilic bacterium from the genus of Alkalicoccus.
