Halomonadaceae Family of bacteria

Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Proteobacteria.

<i>Alcaligenes faecalis</i> Species of bacterium

Alcaligenes faecalis is a species of Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria commonly found in the environment. It was originally named for its first discovery in feces, but was later found to be common in soil, water, and environments in association with humans. While opportunistic infections do occur, the bacterium is generally considered nonpathogenic. When an opportunistic infection does occur, it is usually observed in the form of a urinary tract infection.

Cobetia is a genus of Proteobacteria. Members belonging to this genus are Gram-negative, aerobic and halotolerant bacteria . Cobetia amphilecti AMI6 isolated from mangrove sediments produces thermostable glutaminase-free L-asparaginase.

Halomonas alkaliphila is a Gram-negative halophilic Proteobacteria. Its specific epithet stems from the Arabic word alkali (al-qaliy), the ashes of saltwort and the Latin adjective philus -a -um, meaning "friend" or "loving": loving alkaline media.

Pandoraea norimbergensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming bacterium of the genus Pandoraea, with a single polar flagellum, which was isolated from an oxic water layer which had a sulfide containing sediment below in Nuremberg, Germany. Pandoraea norimbergensis has the ability to oxidate heterotrophic sulfur under slightly alkaline conditions.

Halomonas subglaciescola is a Gram-negative halophilic Proteobacteria. It was first isolated from an Antarctic, hypersaline, meromictic lake, but has since been found in other environments, such as fermenting seafood. It has a largely oxidative mode of metabolism and it is motile through peritrichous flagellation. This species doesn't utilise glucose, and its type strain is ACAM 12.

Oceanobacillus iheyensis is a bacterium, the type species of its genus. It is a deep-sea species, having been isolated from a depth of 1,050 metres (3,440 ft), and is extremely halotolerant and alkaliphilic. Its type strain is HTE831. Oceanobacillus iheyensis HTE831 is an alkaliphilic and extremely halotolerant Bacillus-related species isolated from deep-sea sediment.

Oceanobacillus chironomi is a bacterium. It is Gram-positive, motile by peritrichous flagella, endospore-forming, halotolerant and facultatively alkaliphilic. The type strain is T3944DT.

Oceanobacillus oncorhynchi is a halotolerant, obligately alkaliphilic bacterium first isolated from the skin of a rainbow trout, hence its name. It is Gram-positive, rod-shaped and motile by peritrichous flagella and produces ellipsoidal spores. The type strain is R-2(T).

Halobacteroides halobius is a species of bacteria, the type species of its genus. It is a moderately halophilic, anaerobic, long rod-shaped, motile, Gram-negative and non-sporulating bacterium.

Halomonas ventosae is a moderately halophilic, denitrifying, exopolysaccharide-producing bacterium. Its type strain is Al12T.

Thermococcus stetteri is an extremely thermophilic, marine, sulfur-metabolizing archaebacterium. It is anaerobic, its cells being irregular cocci 1 to 2 μm in diameter. Of the strains first isolated, two were motile due to a tuft of flagella, while the other two strains were nonmotile. Its type strain is K-3. It can grow on starch, pectin, and peptides, but not amino acids.

Desulfovibrio halophilus is a halophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium.

Desulfobacter halotolerans is a halotolerant, acetate-oxidizing, sulfate-reducing bacteria. It is mesophilic and rod-shaped, with type strain GSL-Ac1.

Xanthobacter agilis is a dinitrogen-fixing, non-pleomorphic hydrogen-oxidizing and motile bacteria from the family of Xanthobacteraceae which has been isolated from a lake near Neuchâtel in Switzerland. Xanthobacter agilis produces o-phthalyl amidase.

Nocardioides daejeonensis is a gram-positive, denitrifying, rod-shaped, aerobic and non-motile bacterium from the genus Nocardioides that has been isolated from a sewage disposal plant at Daejeon, South Korea.

Novosphingobium hassiacum is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Novosphingobium which has been isolated from a sewage pond in Germany.

Halomonas meridiana is a bacterial species discovered in 1990 in the hypersaline lakes of Vestfold Hills, Antarctica.

Fictibacillus solisalsi is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, halotolerant, alkaliphilic and motile bacterium from the genus of Fictibacillus which has been isolated from saline soil from Shanxi in China.

Paraliobacillus ryukyuensis is a Gram-positive, extremely halotolerant, alkaliphilic, endospore-forming, slightly halophilic and facultatively anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Paraliobacillus which has been isolated from a decomposing marine alga from Okinawa in Japan.
