Thermus is a genus of thermophilic bacteria. It is one of several bacteria belonging to the Deinococcota phylum. According to comparative analysis of 16S rRNA, this is one the most ancient group of bacteria Thermus species can be distinguished from other genera in the family Thermaceae as well as all other bacteria by the presence of eight conserved signature indels found in proteins such as adenylate kinase and replicative DNA helicase as well as 14 conserved signature proteins that are exclusively shared by members of this genus.
Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Pseudomonadota.
Alteromonas is a genus of Pseudomonadota found in sea water, either in the open ocean or in the coast. It is Gram-negative. Its cells are curved rods with a single polar flagellum.
Paraburkholderia kururiensis is a species of bacteria.
Companilactobacillus kimchii is a bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacterium of the genus Companilactobacillus. It is named for and found in the Korean fermented-vegetable food kimchi.
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.
Virgibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria and a member of the phylum Bacillota. 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.
Sporosarcina globispora, formerly known as Bacillus globisporus, is a Gram-positive, aerobic, round spore-forming bacillus. Strains of this species were originally described in 1967 and were found to be fairly similar to the species Bacillus pantothenticus. The species was later reassigned to the genus Sporosarcina along with the species Bacillus psychrophilus and Bacillus pasteurii.
Muricauda aquimarina is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming and slightly halophilic bacterium from the genus of Muricauda. which has been isolated from a salt lake near the beach of Hwajinpo in Korea.
Olivibacter is a genus from the family of Sphingobacteriaceae.
Roseivirga echinicomitans is a species of Gram-negative bacteria that belongs to the family Flammeovirgaceae. It is a strictly aerobic, heterotrophic, pink-pigmented, non-motile bacterium from the genus Roseivirga. It was first isolated from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius.
Belliella is a Gram-negative, aerobic, chemoheterotrophic and non-motile bacterial genus from the family of Cyclobacteriaceae.
Desulfofaba is a Gram-negative, anaerobic, non-spore-forming and motile bacteria genus from the family of Desulfobacteraceae.
Marmoricola terrae is a bacterium from the genus Marmoricola which has been isolated from soil from Jeju Island, Korea.
Thalassomonas is a genus of bacteria from the family Colwelliaceae. Thalassomonas bacteria can cause the coral diseases white plague.
Caldanaerobius zeae is a Gram-positive thermophilic, anaerobic, non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Caldanaerobius which has been isolated from organic waste leachate in Hoopeston in the United States.
Janibacter is a genus of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The genus name is derived from the two-faced Roman god Janus, referring to the fact that the cells of the original strain could be rod-shaped or coccoid.
Solibacillus isronensis is a bacterium from the genus of Solibacillus which has been isolated from a cryogenic tube from India. It is named after ISRO, India's space agency which discovered the species.
Sphingopyxis taejonensis is a bacterium from the genus of Sphingopyxis which has been isolated from natural mineral water from Taejon in Korea.
Janibacter limosus is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The species was initially isolated from sludge from a wastewater treatment plant in Jena, Germany. The species was first described in 1997, and the species name is derived from Latin limosus (muddy). J. limosus was the first species assigned to Janibacter, and is the type species for the genus.
