Alishewanella is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (bacteria). [1]
The name Alishewanella derives from:
Latin adjective and pronoun alius, other, another, different; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Shewanella, a bacterial genus name; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Alishewanella, the other Shewanella . [2]
The genus contains seven species, namely: [2]
Actinoalloteichus is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Actinokineospora is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Actinophytocola is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Actinopolymorpha is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Actinotalea is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (bacteria).
Adhaeribacter is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria).
Deefgea is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota. Deefgea are described as Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobes which generally occur singly. Deefgea are motile, either by a single flagellum or two polar flagella. They are both catalase and oxidase positive.
Agarivorans is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).
Agrococcus is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Agromyces is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Albimonas is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).
Algoriphagus is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria).
Algibacter is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria).
Alkalibacillus is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria).
Croceitalea is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria).
The genus Alishewanella is one of the major branches of the family Alteromonadaceae. It was proposed to accommodate A. fetalis, isolated from an autopsy of a human fetus, in 2000. In 2009, A. aestuarii was isolated from tidal flat sediment and indicated as being a representative of Alishewanella. The third Alishewanella species was isolated from gajami sikhae, a Korean fermented food, in 2009 and was given the name A. jeotgali. Most recently, in 2010, the fourth currently isolated species of Alishewanella, A. agri, was isolated from landfill soil in Korea. Currently these are the only four isolated and characterized species of the genus Alishewanella.
Mahella is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria). The name Mahella derives from: Neo-Latin feminine gender dim. noun Mahella, named in honour of the American microbiologist Professor R.A. Mah, for his important contribution to the taxonomy of anaerobes.
Marichromatium is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria). The name Marichromatium derives from: Latin mare, the sea; Neo-Latin Chromatium, a genus name; to give Marichromatium, the Chromatium of the sea, the truly marine Chromatium.
Alishewanella aestuarii is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus of Alishewanella which has been isolated from tidal flat sediments from Yeosu in Korea.
Alishewanella jeotgali is a Gram-negative and facultative anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Alishewanella which has been isolated from gajami sikhae (jeotgal) from Korea.
