Marinobacterium is a genus of bacteria found in sea water. [2] [3] The cells are rod-shaped and are motile by using one polar flagellum. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) [3] isolated, characterized and identified two species of Marinobacterium ( Marinobacterium coralli, Marinobacterium maritimum ) from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. [3]
Colony, morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of Marinobacterium species are shown in the Table below. [3]

Vibrio alginolyticus is a Gram-negative marine bacterium. It is medically important since it causes otitis and wound infection. It is also present in the bodies of animals such as pufferfish, where it is responsible for the production of the potent neurotoxin, tetrodotoxin.
Halobacillus karajensis is a species of bacteria. It is halophilic, Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped. Its type strain is MA-2T. Halobacillus karajensis is commonly found in marine environment. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated and characterized Halobacillus karajensis from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Oceanobacillus kimchii is a bacterium, named after kimchi, where the first isolate was found. Its cells are rod-shaped and the type strain is X50T. Oceanobacillus kimchii is also found in the marine sponges.
Chromohalobacter salexigens is a gram negative, oxidase and catalase positive, rod shaped, motile and moderately halophilic species of marine bacteria. It was isolated from Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles and from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Colonies are medium-sized, round and yellowish in color. The type strain is DSM 3043T. Its genome has been sequenced. It is a gamma-Proteobacterium, and as such, closely related to Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli.
Bacillus sonorensis is a species of bacteria with type strain L87-10T. Its genome has been sequenced.
Halobacillus is a bacterial genus from the family of Bacillaceae. Halobacillus species are gram positive, oxidase positive, catalase negative, rod shaped marine bacteria. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated and characterized two species of Halobacillus from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Single colonies are pin headed in sized and opaque in color.
Oceanobacillus is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped and motile bacteria genus from the family of Bacillaceae with a peritrichous flagella. Oceanobacillus species are commonly found in saline environment.
Shewanella chilikensis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic and motile bacterium from the genus Shewanella which has been isolated from sediments from the Chilika Lagoon in India and marine sponges of Saint Martin's Island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Shewanella chilikensis are highly salt tolerant and commonly found in marine environment.
Marinobacterium coralli is a Gram-negative and aerobic bacterium from the genus of Marinobacterium which has been isolated from the mucus of the coral Mussismilia hispida from the São Sebastião Channel in Brazil. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated, characterized and identified Marinobacterium coralli from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Marinobacterium maritimum is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of Marinobacterium which has been isolated from sediments from the Arctic. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated, characterized and identified Marinobacterium maritimum from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Sediminibacillus halophilus is a Gram-positive, oxidase positive, catalase negative, moderately halophilic, rod-shaped and motile bacterium from the genus of Sediminibacillus which has been isolated from sediments from the Lake Erliannor from the Mongolia. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated and biochemically characterized Sediminibacillus halophilus from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
