Aestuariibacter aggregatus Aestuariibacter halophilus Aestuariibacter salexigens

Aestuariibacter is a genus in the class Gammaproteobacteria (Bacteria), composed of four species, namely A. aggregatus, A. halophilus, A. litoralis and the type species A. salexigens. [1] These are strictly aerobic marine rod-shaped bacteria. [2] They share many traits with the sister genus Alteromonas , the type genus of the family ( Alteromonadaceae ) and order ( Alteromonadales ).

Etymology

The name Aestuariibacter derives from the Latin noun aestuarium, a tidal flat (the part of the sea coast which, during the flood-tide, is overflowed, but at ebb-tide is left covered with mud or slime) and the Neo-Latin masculine gender noun bacter, bacterium and thus means a tidal-flat bacterium, [2] as three species, except A. halophilus from the Yellow sea, were isolated in tidal flats.
