Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Proteobacteria.
Halomonas nitroreducens is a Gram-negative halophilic Proteobacteria, that is able to respire on nitrate and nitrite in anaerobiosis.
Halomonas titanicae is a gram-negative, halophilic species of proteobacteria which was discovered on rusticles recovered from the wreck of the RMS Titanic. Cristina Sánchez-Porro et al. first isolated the bacterium in 2010 from a sample of rusticle obtained from the RMS Titanic in 1991. One of the researchers, Henrietta Mann has estimated that the action of microbes like Halomonas titanicae may bring about the total deterioration of the Titanic by 2030. While the bacteria have been identified as a potential danger to oil rigs and other man-made objects in the deep sea, it also has the potential to be used in bioremediation to accelerate the decomposition of shipwrecks littering the ocean floor.
Bacillus halodurans is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive, motile and spore-forming bacterium found in soil. In a genomic comparison with Bacillus subtilis, B. halodurans strain C-125 - originally an unclassified Bacillus strain - was found to contain unique genes and sigma factors that may have aided its adaptation to more alkaline environments.
Halomonas ventosae is a moderately halophilic, denitrifying, exopolysaccharide-producing bacterium. Its type strain is Al12T.
Halomonas organivorans is a halophile able to degrade aromatic compounds. It's considered a potentially useful bacteria for decontamination of polluted saline habitats. Its type strain is G-16.1T.
Halomonas alimentaria is a bacterium first isolated from jeotgal, a traditional Korean fermented seafood, hence its name. It is Gram-negative, moderately halophilic, non-motile and coccus- or short rod-shaped, with type strain YKJ-16T.
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.
Halomonas anticariensis is a bacterium. It is strictly aerobic and because of its production of exopolysaccharides forms cream-coloured, mucoid colonies. FP35T is the type strain. Its genome has been sequenced.

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.
