Marinobacter is a genus of bacteria found in sea water. They are also found in a variety of salt lakes. A number of strains and species can degrade hydrocarbons. The species involved in hydrocarbon degradation include M. alkaliphilus, M. arcticus, M. hydrocarbonoclasticus, M. maritimus, and M. squalenivorans.
Desulfovibrio bastinii is a moderately halophilic bacteria. It is sulfate-reducing, mesophilic and motile. Its type strain is SRL4225T.
Desulfovibrio gracilis is a moderately halophilic bacteria. It is sulfate-reducing, mesophilic and motile. Its type strain is SRL6146T.

Marinobacter nanhaiticus is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic and slightly halophilic bacterium from the genus of Marinobacter which has been isolated from sediments from the South China Sea. Marinobacter nanhaiticus has the ability to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Marinobacter salsuginis is a Gram-negative and moderately halophilic bacterium from the genus of Marinobacter which has been isolated from seawater from the Shaban Deep from the Red Sea. The strain BS2 of Marinobacter salsuginis can reduce the mortality of the shrimps Penaeus monodon and Litopenaeus vannamei by killing the dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans. The strain 5N-3 can degrade 1,2-Dichloroethene (cis-DCE) in the absence of inducing substrates like phenol.[6]
