The Hyphomicrobiaceae are a family of bacteria. Among others, they include Rhodomicrobium, a genus of purple bacteria.
Haloarcula is a genus of extreme halophilic Archaea in the class of Halobactaria.
Halopiger is a genus of archaeans in the family Natrialbaceae that have high tolerance to salinity.
Lonar Lake, also known as Lonar crater, is a notified National Geo-heritage Monument, saline, soda lake, located at Lonar in Buldhana district, Maharashtra, India. Lonar Lake is an astrobleme created by a meteorite impact during the Pleistocene Epoch. It is one of only four known hyper-velocity impact craters in basaltic rock anywhere on Earth. The other three basaltic impact structures are in southern Brazil. Lonar Lake has a mean diameter of 1.2 kilometres (3,900 ft) and is about 137 metres (449 ft) below the crater rim. The meteor crater rim is about 1.8 kilometres (5,900 ft) in diameter.
Nosocomiicoccus is a genus of gram-positive cocci. The name is derived nosocomium - hospital; coccus from Greek noun kokkos - a coccus a grain, berry: Nosocomiicoccus - a coccus isolated in a hospital. The genus was erected in 2008. The genus is a member of the family Staphylococcaceae. A common feature of all members of this family is their osmo- and halotolerance - the ability to grow at high salt concentrations.
Alkalibacillus is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria).
Exiguobacterium is a genus of bacilli and a member of the low GC phyla of Bacillota. 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.
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.
Psychrobacter vallis is a Gram-negative, psychrophilic, halotolerant, nonmotile bacterium of the genus Psychrobacter, which was isolated from cyanobacterial mat samples from the McMurdo Dry Valley region of Antarctica.
Gracilibacillus is a genus of bacteria within the phylum Bacillota. Species within this genus are generally halotolerant.
Salinarimonas ramus is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped motile bacterium with a single polar flagellum of the genus Salinarimonas, isolated from crude oil-contaminated saline soil of the Shengli Oilfield in China.
Cohaesibacter haloalkalitolerans is a bacterium from the genus of Cohaesibacter.
Streptomyces fukangensis is an alkaliphilic bacterium species from the genus of Streptomyces which has been isolated from desert soil from Xinjiang in China.
Streptomyces sparsus is a bacterium species from the genus of Streptomyces which has been isolated from saline and alkaline soil in the Qinghai Province in China.
Marinobacter persicus is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic and moderately halophilic bacterium from the genus of Marinobacter which has been isolated from the Aran-Bidgol Lake from the central desert of Iran.
Pelagirhabdus is a genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae.
Pontibacillus salipaludis is a Gram-positive, slightly halophilic, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, endospore-forming and motile bacterium from the genus of Pontibacillus which has been isolated from a salt pan from Tuticorin in India.
Frigoribacterium salinisoli is a Gram-positive, short-rod and aerobic bacterium from the genus Frigoribacterium which has been isolated from saline soil from Lingxian in China.
Planctopirus hydrillae is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus of Planctopirus which has been isolated from the plant Hydrilla verticillata from Hyderabad in India.
Alkalihalobacillus lonarensis is a Gram-positive, alkalitolerant, endospore-forming, rod-shaped and motile bacterium from the genus of Alkalihalobacillus which has been isolated from the Lonar Lake.
