Species

A. hydrocarbonica [1]

Aestuariicella is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative, and strictly aerobic genus of bacteria from the order Alteromonadales with one known species ( Aestuariicella hydrocarbonica ). [2] [1] [3] [4] Aestuariicella hydrocarbonica was first isolated in 2015 from oil spill contaminated tidal flat sediments from the Dangjin bay in Korea. [4] Due to the recent nature of its discovery, its taxonomic classification has not yet been accepted. Future research into its evolutionary history and genome may change the naming of this organism.

While rare in seawater, A. hydrocarbonica has shown a strong association with plastic debris of various polymer types. [5] It is commonly found along with other gammaproteobacteria capable of degrading hydrocarbons and other high-molecular-mass polymers. [6] Bio-degradation tests have shown that it is capable of breaking down a variety of hydrocarbon polymers. However, it does not degrade the plant polymers casein and starch . These organisms are tetracycline sensitive, but are vulnerable to all other common antibiotics. [7]

The distribution of A. hydrocarbonica is not yet described, but studies have found its presence in samples from South Korea [4] and the Mediterranean Sea. [5] [8] [9] This suggests that it may have a broad geographic distribution or be associated with area with high human impact.

<i>Massilia</i> (bacterium) Genus of bacteria

The genus Massilia belongs to the family Oxalobacteriaceae, and describes a group of gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped cells. They may contain either peritrichous or polar flagella. This genus was first described in 1998, after the type species, Massilia timonae, was isolated from the blood of an immunocompromised patient. The genus was named after the old Greek and Roman name for the city of Marseille, France, where the organism was first isolated. The Massilia genus is a diverse group that resides in many different environments, has many heterotrophic means of gathering energy, and is commonly found in association with plants.

Chitinimonas is a genus of Gram-negative, chitinolytic, rod-shaped bacteria which have flagella from the family of Burkholderiaceae which belongs to the class Betaproteobacteria.

Chitinimonas is optimally grown and cultured at 25 °C to 37 °C, with very little concentrations of NaCl.

<i>Arthrobacter bussei</i> Species of bacterium

Arthrobacter bussei is a pink-coloured, aerobic, coccus-shaped, Gram-stain-positive, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive bacterium isolated from cheese made of cow´s milk. A. bussei is non-motile and does not form spores. Rod–coccus life cycle is not observed. Cells are 1.1–1.5 µm in diameter. On trypticase soy agar it forms pink-coloured, raised and round colonies, which are 1.0 mm in diameter after 5 days at 30 °C The genome of the strain A. bussei KR32T has been fully sequenced.
