Aquaspirillum dispar is a species of Aquaspirillum that is also known as Microvirgula aerodenitrificans Patureau. [2]

Microvirgula Dispute

Several studies show that Aquaspirillum dispar and Microvirgula aerodenitrificans have a rDNA similarity of greater that 99%. It has been proposed that the name Aquaspirillum dispar cease to be relevant because Microvirgula aerodenitrificans is the type species of Microvirgula . However, no official action has been made, so Aquaspirillum dispar is still relevant. [3]

Acetobacter is a genus of acetic acid bacteria. Acetic acid bacteria are characterized by the ability to convert ethanol to acetic acid in the presence of oxygen. Of these, the genus Acetobacter is distinguished by the ability to oxidize lactate and acetate into carbon dioxide and water. Bacteria of the genus Acetobacter have been isolated from industrial vinegar fermentation processes and are frequently used as fermentation starter cultures.

Grimontia hollisae is a species of Grimontia proteobacteria, and is the only pathogenic species that does not grow on thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose agar (TCBS). Based on phylogenetic evidence, the species was reclassified in 2003 from Vibrio hollisae.

Virgibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria and a member of the phylum Bacillota. Virgibacillus species can be obligate aerobes, or facultative anaerobes and catalase enzyme positive. Under stressful environmental conditions, the bacteria can produce oval or ellipsoidal endospores in terminal, or sometimes subterminal, swollen sporangia. The genus was recently reclassified from the genus Bacillus in 1998 following an analysis of the species V. pantothenticus. Subsequently, a number of new species have been discovered or reclassified as Virgibacillus species.

Microvirgula aerodenitrificans is a species of bacteria, the only species in its genus. It is a Gram-negative, catalase-and oxidase-positive, curved rod-shaped and motile denitrifier. It is aerobic as well as an anoxic heterotroph, having an atypical respiratory type of metabolism in which oxygen and nitrogen oxides are used simultaneously as terminal electron acceptors. SGLY2T is its type strain.

Virgibacillus proomii is a species of Gram-positive bacteria. Strains of this species were originally isolated from soil samples in England and formerly identified as strains of Bacillus pantothenticus. The species is named for British microbiologist Harold Proom.
