Acinetobacter portensis is a species of Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Acinetobacter described in 2020. [2] 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.

Pseudomonas balearica is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, nonfluorescent, motile, and denitrifying bacterium. It is an environmental bacterium that has been mostly isolated from polluted environments all over the world. Many of the isolates have demonstrated capabilities to degrade several compounds. Some of the strains are naphthalene degraders and one strain isolated in New Zealand has demonstrated the potential to oxidize inorganic sulfur compounds to tetrathionate. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. balearica has been placed in the P. stutzeri group.

Undibacterium oligocarboniphilum is a Gram-negative, oxidase positive, catalase positive, flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Undibacterium which was isolated from purified water. Its 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis has shown that it belongs to the family Oxalobacteraceae.

Acinetobacter venetianus is a species of bacteria notable for degrading n-alkanes. It harbours plasmids carrying sequences similar to the Pseudomonas oleovorans alkane hydroxylase gene alkBFGH.
