The Aurantimonadaceae are a small family of marine bacteria. Six species are known. Aurantimonas coralicida causes a white plague in corals. Fulvimarina pelagi was isolated from seawater, and takes the form of nonmotile rods.
Rhodobium is a genus of purple non-sulfur bacteria. The cells are rod-shaped and reproduce by budding, as in many other members of the Rhizobiales. RNA trees separate it from the others, however, and it is given its own family. R. orientis, the type species, was isolated from seawater in 1995. It is capable of photosynthetic hydrogen production via the nitrogenase enzyme.
In taxonomy, Ruegeria is a genus of the Rhodobacteraceae. This genus was formerly known as the marine Agrobacterium before they were reclassified in 1998. It bears in fact the name of Hans-Jürgen Rüger, a German microbiologist, for his contribution to the taxonomy of marine species of Agrobacterium.
Mycobacterium chlorophenolicum is a species of the phylum Actinobacteria, belonging to the genus Mycobacterium.
Abiotrophia is a genus of lactic acid bacteria, a family in the phylum Firmicutes (Bacteria).
In taxonomy, Methanobacterium is a genus of the Methanobacteriaceae. Contrary to their name, they are not exactly a bacterial species as they belong to the archaea and have the distinguishing biopolymer, peptidoglycan, missing from their cell membranes. Methanobacterium are nonmotile and live without oxygen. Some members of this genus can use formate to reduce methane; others live exclusively through the reduction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen. They are ubiquitous in some hot, low-oxygen environments, such as anaerobic digestors, their wastewater, and hot springs.
Oxobacter is a genus of Gram-positive obligately anaerobic rod-shaped acetogenic bacteria. The sole species in the genus is Oxobacter pfennigii, formerly known as Clostridium pfennigii. This endospore-forming microorganism catabolizes pyruvate to acetate and CO2, while sugars and amino acids are not utilized as energy sources.
Pseudonocardia is the type genus of the bacteria family Pseudonocardiaceae. Members of this genus have been found living mutualistically on the cuticle of the leafcutter ants because the bacteria has antibiotic properties that protect the fungus grown by the ants. The bacteria may also be found in crypts on the propleural plate.
Aliivibrio is a genus in the phylum Proteobacteria (Bacteria).
Oxobacter pfennigii, previously known as Clostridium pfennigii, is a bacterium belonging to the Firmicutes.
Aureimonas ureilytica is a bacterium from the genus of Aurantimonas. Aurantimonas ureilytica was reclassified to Aureimonas ureilytica.
Afifella marina is a phototrophic bacterial species of the genus Afifella.
Rhodobium gokarnense is a phototrophic bacterium species from the genus of Rhodobium which has been isolated from soil in Gokarna in India.
Rhodobium orientis is a phototrophic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile bacterium species from the genus of Rhodobium which has been isolated from coastal seawater from Makurazaki in Japan.
Chryseobacterium antarcticum is a bacterium from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from soil in the Antarctica.
Coprothermobacterota is a newly proposed phylum of nonmotile, rod-shaped bacteria.
'Coprothermobacteraceae is a new bacterial family of rod-shaped microorganisms, belonging to the order Coprothermobacterales, class Coprothermobacteria of the new phylum Coprothermobacterota.
Coprothermobacter is a genus of rod-shaped microorganisms, belonging to the new bacterial family Coprothermobacteraceae of the new phylum Coprothermobacterota. This taxonomic genus has been reclassified in 2018, after different phylogenetic studies showed that these bacteria represented a deeply branched taxon of the domain Bacteria ; consequently, the clade including this genus has been classified in a separate phylum from Firmicutes, the phylum where it was included before reclassification.
