Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Proteobacteria.
The Chloroflexi or Chlorobacteria are a phylum of bacteria containing isolates with a diversity of phenotypes, including members that are aerobic thermophiles, which use oxygen and grow well in high temperatures; anoxygenic phototrophs, which use light for photosynthesis ; and anaerobic halorespirers, which uses halogenated organics as electron acceptors.
Jeotgalicoccus is a genus of Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, and halotolerant to halophilic bacteria. The cells are coccoid. The genus is named after the Korean fish sauce jeotgal, whence these bacteria were first isolated.
Desulfosporosinus is a genus of strictly anaerobic, sulfate-reducing bacteria, often found in soil.
The genus Alishewanella is one of the major branches of the family Alteromonadaceae. It was proposed to accommodate A. fetalis, isolated from an autopsy of a human fetus, in 2000. In 2009, A. aestuarii was isolated from tidal flat sediment and indicated as being a representative of Alishewanella. The third Alishewanella species was isolated from gajami sikhae, a Korean fermented food, in 2009 and was given the name A. jeotgali. Most recently, in 2010, the fourth currently isolated species of Alishewanella, A. agri, was isolated from landfill soil in Korea.Currently these are the only four isolated and characterized species of the genus Alishewanella.
Jeotgalicoccus marinus is a species of Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic bacteria. It is moderately halophilic, it grows in environments with 0.5–25.0 % total salts. The cells are coccoid. The species was isolated from a sea urchin from the South China Sea.
Virgibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria and a member of the phylum Firmicutes. Virgibacillus species can be obligate aerobes, or facultative anaerobes and catalase enzyme positive. Under stressful environmental conditions, the bacteria can produce oval or ellipsoidal endospores in terminal, or sometimes subterminal, swollen sporangia. The genus was recently reclassified from the genus Bacillus in 1998 following an analysis of the species V. pantothenticus. Subsequently, a number of new species have been discovered or reclassified as Virgibacillus species.
Thalassotalea ganghwensis is a Gram-negative, aerobic and halophilic bacterium from the genus of Thalassotalea which has been isolated from tidal flat sediments in Korea.
Halolactibacillus alkaliphilus is a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic, moderately alkaliphilic, halophilic and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Halolactibacillus which has been isolated from sediments from the Xiarinaoer soda lake from the Mongolia.
Pontibacillus is a Gram-positive, spore-forming and strictly aerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae.
Pontibacillus litoralis is a Gram-positive, moderately halophilic, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming and motile bacterium from the genus of Pontibacillus which has been isolated from the surface of the sea anemone Anthopleura xanthogrammica from the Naozhou Island in China.
Salipaludibacillus neizhouensis is a Gram-positive, facultatively alkaliphilic, slightly halophilic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped, aerobic and non-motil bacterium from the genus of Salipaludibacillus which has been isolated from a sea anemone from Neizhou Bay from the South China Sea.
Virgibacillus marismortui is a Gram-positive, moderately halophilic and rod-shaped bacterium from the genus of Virgibacillus which has been isolated from water from the Dead Sea.
Salinimicrobium catena is a Gram-negative, aerobic, heterotrophic and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Salinimicrobium which has been isolated from sediments oft the South China Sea.
Salinimicrobium marinum is a heterotrophic and facultatively anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Salinimicrobium.
Winogradskyella ulvae is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, slightly halophilic and motile bacterium from the genus of Winogradskyella which has been isolated from the alga Ulva fenestrata.
Kushneria marisflavi is a Gram-negative and halophilic bacterium from the genus of Kushneria which has been isolated from the Yellow Sea in Korea.
Alkalihalobacillus is a genus of gram-positive or gram-variable rod-shaped bacteria in the family Bacillaceae from the order Bacillales. The type species of this genus is Alkalihalobacillus alcalophilus.
Enterovibrio nigricans is a bacterium species from the genus of Enterovibrio which has been isolated from the head kidney of the fish Sparus aurata from the Mediterranean coast in Spain.
