Nitrospirota is a phylum of bacteria. It includes multiple genera, such as Nitrospira, the largest. The first member of this phylum, Nitrospira marina, was discovered in 1985. The second member, Nitrospira moscoviensis, was discovered in 1995.

Erythrobacter ramosus is a species of bacterium.

Erythrobacter litoralis is a species of bacterium. E. litoralis strain HTCC2594 was first sequenced in 2009. Erythrobacter litoralis strain DSM 8509 was developed as a comparative genetic model system to investigate the role of visible light in regulation of the general stress response in Alphaproteobacteria. The complete genome sequence of E. litoralis DSM 8509 has been published.

Streptomyces endophyticus is a bacterium species from the genus of Streptomyces which has been isolated from roots of the plant Artemisia annua L. in Kunming in the Yunnan province in China.

The Lachnospiraceae are a family of obligately anaerobic, variably spore-forming bacteria in the order Eubacteriales that ferment diverse plant polysaccharides to short-chain fatty acids and alcohols (ethanol). These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen and the human gut microbiota. Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid. Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice.

Erythrobacteraceae is a bacterium family in the order of Sphingomonadales.

Methylosinus trichosporium is an obligate aerobic and methane-oxidizing bacterium species from the genus of Methylosinus. Its native habitat is generally in the soil, but the bacteria has been isolated from fresh water sediments and groundwater as well. Because of this bacterium's ability to oxidize methane, M. trichosporium has been popular for identifying both the structure and function of enzymes involved with methane oxidation since it was first isolated in 1970 by Roger Whittenbury and colleagues. Since its discovery, M. trichosporium and its soluble monooxygenase enzyme have been studied in detail to see if the bacterium could help in bioremediation treatments.
