Marinilabiliaceae is a family of bacteria. ^{[1] [3]}

Characteristics

Bacterial cells that belong to the Marinilabiliaceae family are typically thin, flexible rods. Mostly species are motile by gliding motily. They are saccharolytic and need NaCl for growing. ^[3]

Metabolism

All species of Marinilabiliaceae are heterotrophic, they do not perform photosynthesis. ^[3] The genera Alkaliflexus and Anaerophaga as well as some other genera have a strictly fermentative metabolism. Marinilabilia is facultatively anaerobic. It has respiratory and fermentative types of metabolism. ^[3]
