Alcanivorax pacificus is a pyrene-degrading marine gammaproteobacterium. It is of the genus Alcanivorax, a group of marine bacteria known for degrading hydrocarbons. When originally proposed, the genus Alcanivorax comprised six distinguishable species. However, A. pacificus, a seventh strain, was isolated from deep sea sediments in the West Pacific Ocean by Shanghai Majorbio Bio-pharm Technology Co., Ltd. in 2011. A. pacificus’s ability to degrade hydrocarbons can be employed for cleaning up oil-contaminated oceans through bioremediation. The genomic differences present in this strain of Alcanivorax that distinguish it from the original consortium are important to understand to better utilize this bacteria for bioremediation.
Microbulbifer marinus is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium found in marine sediment. Its type strain is Y215T.
Microbulbifer yueqingensis is a Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium found in marine sediment. Its type strain is Y226T.
Hahella gaghwensis is a marine strain of Gram-negative, aerobic, and obligately halophilic bacteria of the gammaproteobacteria. Unlike its relative, H. chejuensis, H. ganghwensis is obligately halophilic, and both have distinctly different metabolic capabilities and fatty acid content.

Flammeovirga is a Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming and chemoorganotrophic genus of bacteria in the family Flammeovirgaceae which occur in marine environments.
Polaribacter is a genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae. They are gram-negative, aerobic bacteria that can be heterotrophic, psychrophilic or mesophilic. Most species are non-motile and species range from ovoid to rod-shaped. Polaribacter forms yellow- to orange-pigmented colonies. They have been mostly adapted to cool marine ecosystems, and their optimal growth range is at a temperature between 10 and 32 °C and at a pH of 7.0 to 8.0. They are oxidase and catalase-positive and are able to grow using carbohydrates, amino acids, and organic acids.
