Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Pseudomonadota.
Geobacillus stearothermophilus is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacterium and a member of the phylum Bacillota. The bacterium is a thermophile and is widely distributed in soil, hot springs, ocean sediment, and is a cause of spoilage in food products. It will grow within a temperature range of 30 to 75 °C. Some strains are capable of oxidizing carbon monoxide aerobically. It is commonly used as a challenge organism for sterilization validation studies and periodic check of sterilization cycles. The biological indicator contains spores of the organism on filter paper inside a vial. After sterilizing, the cap is closed, an ampule of growth medium inside of the vial is crushed and the whole vial is incubated. A color and/or turbidity change indicates the results of the sterilization process; no change indicates that the sterilization conditions were achieved, otherwise the growth of the spores indicates that the sterilization process has not been met. Recently a fluorescent-tagged strain, Rapid Readout(tm), is being used for verifying sterilization, since the visible blue fluorescence appears in about one-tenth the time needed for pH-indicator color change, and an inexpensive light sensor can detect the growing colonies.
Cronobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Several Cronobacter species are desiccation resistant and persistent in dry products such as powdered infant formula. They are generally motile, reduce nitrate, use citrate, hydrolyze esculin and arginine, and are positive for L-ornithine decarboxylation. Acid is produced from D-glucose, D-sucrose, D-raffinose, D-melibiose, D-cellobiose, D-mannitol, D-mannose, L-rhamnose, L-arabinose, D-trehalose, galacturonate and D-maltose. Cronobacter spp. are also generally positive for acetoin production and negative for the methyl red test, indicating 2,3-butanediol rather than mixed acid fermentation. The type species of the genus Cronobacter is Cronobacter sakazakii comb. nov.
Curvibacter delicatus is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Curvibacter and family Comamonadaceae, which was isolated from well water.
Curvibacter gracilis is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Curvibacter and family Comamonadaceae, which was isolated from well water.
Gracilibacillus is a genus of bacteria within the phylum Bacillota. Species within this genus are generally halotolerant.
Aquaspirillum bengal is a Gram negative bacterium in the genus Aquaspirillum.
Erythrobacteraceae is a bacterium family in the order of Sphingomonadales.
Pseudopedobacter saltans is a species of heparinase-producing bacteria. Pedobacter saltans was reclassified to Pseudopedobacter saltans.
Noviherbaspirillum aurantiacum is a Gram-negative and motile bacterium from the genus of Noviherbaspirillum which has been isolated from old volcanic mountain soil.

Paraglaciecola oceanifecundans is a bacterium from the genus of Paraglaciecola which has been isolated from the Southern Ocean.
Pluralibacter is a genus of Gram negative bacteria from the family of Enterobacteriaceae. The genus consists of two species, P. gergoviae and P. pyrinus. Both species were originally classified in the genus Enterobacter but were reclassified into the novel genus Pluralibacter in 2013.
Emcibacteraceae is a family of bacteria.
Lysinibacillus is a genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae. Members of this genus, in contrast to the type species of the genus Bacillus, contains peptidoglycan with lysine, aspartic acid, alanine and glutamic acid.
