Chitinimonas taiwanensis is a Gram-negative, chitinolytic, catalase- and oxidase-positive motile bacterium with a single flagellum of the genus Chitinimonas and the family of Burkholderiaceae which was isolated from the surface of a freshwater pond for shrimp ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii ) in Pingtung City in southern Taiwan.

Limnohabitans planktonicus is a Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, aerobic, unpigmented bacterium from the genus Limnohabitans, which was isolated from the mesoeutrophic freshwater reservoir in Římov in the Czech Republic.

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. All species of Chitinimonas have been found in regions of Asia. Species of this genus are found to be both aerobic and anaerobic. Chitinimonas is optimally grown and cultured at 25 °C to 37 °C, with very little concentrations of NaCl.

Exiguobacterium is a genus of bacilli and a member of the low GC phyla of Firmicutes. Collins et al. first described the genus Exiguobacterium with the characterization of E. aurantiacum strain DSM6208T from an alkaline potato processing plant. It has been found in areas covering a wide range of temperatures (-12 °C—55 °C) including glaciers in Greenland and hot springs in Yellowstone, and has been isolated from ancient permafrost in Siberia. This ability to survive in varying temperature extremes makes them an important area of study. Some strains in addition to dynamic thermal adaption are also halotolerant, can grow within a wide range of pH values (5-11), tolerate high levels of UV radiation, and heavy metal stress.
