Cobetia marina is a Gram-negative halophilic marine bacterium. [1]

History

In 2013, Halomonas halodurans was found to be a later description of the same bacteria, and was therefore reclassified as Cobetia marina. [2]

Roseivivax halodurans is a species of bacteria, the type species of its genus. It is aerobic and bacteriochlorophyll-containing, first isolated from the charophytes on the stromatolites of a saline lake located on the west coast of Australia. It is chemoheterotrophic, Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped and with subpolar flagella. Its type strain is OCh 239T.

Cobetia amphilecti is a Gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, bacterium. It has non-pigmented, rod-shaped cells, 0.8–0.9 μm in diameter and 1.1–1.3 μm long, motile by means of one polar and/or two or three lateral flagella. Growth is observed in 0–20 % NaCl with an optimum at 5% NaCl, and at 4–42 °C with an optimum at 37 °C. Growth is slow in the absence of NaCl and in the presence of 0.5% NaCl. Grows at pH 4.5–10.5 with an optimum at pH 6.5–8.5. Negative for hydrolysis of gelatin, starch, chitin, aesculin, xanthine, hypoxanthine and Tween 80. Negative for H2S production.
