Chromohalobacter is a gram negative, oxidase and catalase positive, rod shaped, motile marine Pseudomonadota. [1] It is commonly found in marine environments. Two species of Chromohalobacter ( Chromohalobacter marismortui and Chromohalobacter salexigens ) was isolated from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. [1] Colonies are medium-sized, round and yellowish. [1] It was established by Ventosa and others in 1989, with the reclassification of Chromobacterium marismortui as Chromohalobacter marismortui. [2] [3] As of 2007, it comprised the following species: [3]

Chromohalobacter beijerinckii is a motile, rod-like, salt-loving, Gram-negative soil bacterium, 0.4–0.6 μm by 1.8–2.5 μm.

Salinicola salarius is a Gram-negative, moderately halophilic, piezophilic proteobacterium that requires pressures of 102 MPa to grow. The species was first isolated from a salt water sample from Anmyeondo, Korea and was formally described in 2007. S salarius cells are aerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods (0.8–0.9x1.3–1.7 μm) that form yellow, smooth, translucent, circular colonies with entire edges. The oxidase- and catalase-positive cells are motile and possess lateral/polar flagella. Growth occurs at 10–45 °C and at pH 5–10. The strain is able to grow at salinities between 0 and 25% NaCl.

Halobacillus karajensis is a species of bacteria. It is halophilic, Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped. Its type strain is MA-2T.
