Acidobacteriota Phylum of bacteria

Acidobacteriota is a phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. Its members are physiologically diverse and ubiquitous, especially in soils, but are under-represented in culture.

Hyphomicrobiales Order of bacteria

The Hyphomicrobiales are an order of Gram-negative Alphaproteobacteria.

In taxonomy, Ruegeria is a genus of the Rhodobacteraceae. This genus was formerly known as the marine Agrobacterium before they were reclassified in 1998. It bears in fact the name of Hans-Jürgen Rüger, a German microbiologist, for his contribution to the taxonomy of marine species of Agrobacterium.

In taxonomy, Ahrensia is a genus of the Hyphomicrobiales. Ahrensia is named after the German microbiologist R. Ahrens. The cells are rod-shaped and motile. They are strictly aerobic.

Algoriphagus is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidetes (Bacteria).

Psychroserpens burtonensis is a species of psychrophilic, yellow-pigmented bacteria. It is non-motile and nutritionally fastidious. Its type strain is ACAM 188.

Gelidibacter algens is a species of psychrophilic, yellow-pigmented bacteria. It is saccharolytic, exhibits rapid gliding motility, and its cells are rod-like to filamentous. Its type strain is ACAM 536.

Psychrobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, osmotolerant, oxidase-positive, psychrophilic or psychrotolerant, aerobic bacteria which belong to the family Moraxellaceae and the class Gammaproteobacteria. The shape is typically cocci or coccobacilli. Some of those bacteria were isolated from humans and can cause humans infections such as endocarditis and peritonitis. This genus of bacteria is able to grow at temperatures between −10 and 42 °C. Rudi Rossau found through DNA-rRNA hybridization analysis that Psychrobacter belongs to the Moraxellaceae. The first species was described by Juni and Heym. Psychrobacter occur in wide range of moist, cold saline habitats, but they also occur in warm and slightly saline habitats.

Brumimicrobium glaciale is a bacterium. It is gliding, rod-like and facultatively anaerobic with a fermentative metabolism.

Microbulbifer hydrolyticus is a gram-negative, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic bacteria, the type species of its genus. It was first isolated from lignin-rich pulp mill effluent. Its type strain is IRE-31.

Psychroflexus is a psychrophilic bacteria genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.

Aequorivita is a Gram-negative and strictly aerobic bacterial genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.

Thioflavicoccus is a Gram-negative, obligately phototrophic, strictly anaerobic and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Chromatiaceae with one known species.

Cytophagales is an order of non-spore forming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria that move through a gliding or flexing motion. These chemoorganotrophs are important remineralizers of organic materials into micronutrients. They are widely dispersed in the environment, found in ecosystems including soil, freshwater, seawater and sea ice. Cytophagales is included in the Bacteroidetes phylum.

Oceanihabitans is a genus of marine bacterium in the family Flavobacteriaceae. It contains a single species, O. sediminis. It is aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and motile by gliding. O. sediminis produces flexirubin pigments. It is positive for cytochrome c oxidase and catalase. O. sediminis can use glucose, mannose, maltose and adipic acid as sole carbon sources for chemoheterotrophic growth. It is a chemoorganotroph and is chemotaxonomically characterized by the presence of menaquinone 6 (MK-6). The type strain is S9-10T.
