Acetobacter is a genus of acetic acid bacteria. Acetic acid bacteria are characterized by the ability to convert ethanol to acetic acid in the presence of oxygen. Of these, the genus Acetobacter is distinguished by the ability to oxidize lactate and acetate into carbon dioxide and water. Bacteria of the genus Acetobacter have been isolated from industrial vinegar fermentation processes and are frequently used as fermentation starter cultures.
Acidobacteriota is a phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. Its members are physiologically diverse and ubiquitous, especially in soils, but are under-represented in culture.
Agrococcus is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Psychromonas antarctica is a species of Pseudomonadota. The halophilic and psychrophile bacterium was first isolated from a salinity pond in Antarctica. Psychromonas antarctica is anaerobic but tolerates the presence of oxygen (aerotolerant). It is motile with a polar flagellum.
Alkalihalobacillus alcalophilus is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped species of bacteria. Likely strains of this species have been isolated from highly alkaline waste water. A. alcalophilus is a moderate halotolerant obligate alkaliphile growing at 40 °C and at pH 9–10.5 that has been isolated from soil and animal manures.
Yokenella is a genus of bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Yokenella are Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacteria. Strains of bacteria forming this genus were originally isolated from clinical samples, from the boxelder bug, and from alligators.
Comamonas thiooxydans is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Comamonas and family Comamonadaceae, which was isolated from a sulfur spring. C. thiooxydans has the ability to oxidize thiosulfate.
Exiguobacterium is a genus of bacilli and a member of the low GC phyla of Bacillota. Collins et al. first described the genus Exiguobacterium with the characterization of E. aurantiacum strain DSM6208T from an alkaline potato processing plant. It has been found in areas covering a wide range of temperatures (-12 °C—55 °C) including glaciers in Greenland and hot springs in Yellowstone, and has been isolated from ancient permafrost in Siberia. This ability to survive in varying temperature extremes makes them an important area of study. Some strains in addition to dynamic thermal adaption are also halotolerant, can grow within a wide range of pH values (5-11), tolerate high levels of UV radiation, and heavy metal stress.
Acinetobacter gyllenbergii is a gram-negative, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, strictly aerobic nonmotile bacterium from the genus Acinetobacter isolated from human clinical specimens. It is named in honour of Finnish bacteriologist and taxonomist Helge G. Gyllenberg.
Acinetobacter nosocomialis is a gram-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium from the genus Acinetobacter isolated from a patient at MetroHealth in Cleveland, Ohio. Acinetobacter nosocomialis belongs to the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex.
Acinetobacter rudis is a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium from the genus Acinetobacter isolated from raw milk and wastewater.
Psychrobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, osmotolerant, oxidase-positive, psychrophilic or psychrotolerant, aerobic bacteria which belong to the family Moraxellaceae and the class Gammaproteobacteria. The shape is typically cocci or coccobacilli. Some of those bacteria were isolated from humans and can cause humans infections such as endocarditis and peritonitis. This genus of bacteria is able to grow at temperatures between −10 and 42 °C. Rudi Rossau found through DNA-rRNA hybridization analysis that Psychrobacter belongs to the Moraxellaceae. The first species was described by Juni and Heym. Psychrobacter occur in wide range of moist, cold saline habitats, but they also occur in warm and slightly saline habitats.
Mucilaginibacter is a genus from the family of Sphingobacteriaceae.
Neptuniibacter pectenicola is a Gram-negative, aerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of Neptuniibacter which has been isolated from the scallop Pecten maximus.
Weissella ceti is a Gram-positive and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Weissella which was first isolated from beaked whales. Erstwhile believed that W. ceti could cause hemorrhagic illness in Rainbow trouts, however, seems to be a different species from the same genus: Weissella tructae.
Shewanella corallii is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile bacterium from the genus Shewanella which was isolated in March 2005 from a Red Sea coral from the Gulf of Eilat in Israel. In 2016, S. corallii strain A687 was isolated from a pufferfish in Arraial de Cabo, Brazil.
Corynebacterium alimapuense is a species of bacteria in the genus Corynebacterium that was described as a novel species in 2019. It is a Gram positive, non-motile, aerobic bacterium that does not form spores. Its type strain was isolated from marine sediment from Valparaíso Bay, Chile. The draft genome sequence of the type strain is deposited in DNA Data Bank of Japan, European Nucleotide Archive and GenBank under the accession number PTJO00000000.
Crenobacter cavernea Cave-375 is a gram negative bacterium that is closely related to a previously discovered Crenobacter cavernae strain K1W11S-77ͭ. C. cavernea Cave-375 has not directly been described morphologically, however the related strain K1W11S-77ͭ is a "rod-shaped, motile, and strictly aerobic novel bacteria".
Staphylococcus borealis is a bacterial species, member of the genus Staphylococcus, closely related to Staphylococcus haemolyticus and described in 2020. Its cells are Gram positive, coccoid in shape, with a diameter of 0.65 to 1.23 μm and form clusters. Additionally, they are facultative anaerobic, coagulase negative and catalase positive. The type strain was isolated from human blood culture at the University Hospital of North Norway, in 1997. Four additional strains included in the description were isolated from skin swabs, from healthy volunteers. The genome sequence of the type strain is deposited in DNA Data Bank of Japan, European Nucleotide Archive and GenBank under the accession number JABVEJ000000000.
Acinetobacter portensis is a species of Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Acinetobacter described in 2020. The description was based on the characterization of four strains, isolated from raw beef, chicken, pork and turkey meat, collected from supermarkets in Porto, Portugal, in 2014. The type strain of the species is available at the Culture Collection University of Gothenburg (CCUG) and the Czech Collection of Microorganisms (CCM), under the deposit numbers CCUG 68672T and CCM 8789T, respectively. The draft genome sequence of the type strain is deposited in DNA Data Bank of Japan, European Nucleotide Archive and GenBank under the accession number LWRV00000000.
