Abyssivirga alkaniphila is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, strictly anaerobic, mesophilic, syntrophic, alkane-degrading and motile bacterium from the genus of Abyssivirga which has been isolated from biofilm from a black smoker chimney from the Loki's Castle vent field near Norway.

The Lachnospiraceae are a family of obligately anaerobic, variably spore-forming bacteria in the order Eubacteriales that ferment diverse plant polysaccharides to short-chain fatty acids and alcohols (ethanol). These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen and the human gut microbiota. Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid. Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice.

Desulfatibacillum aliphaticivorans is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, sulfate-reducing and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Desulfatibacillum which has been isolated from marine sediments from the Gulf of Fos in France. Desulfatibacillum aliphaticivorans has the ability to degrade n-alkanes and n-alkenes.
