Niphates is a genus of sea sponges belonging to the family Niphatidae. [2] [3] It is native to the Florida Keys, The Bahamas, and the Caribbean including the Netherlands Antilles, as well as seas around China [4] and St. Martin's Island in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. [5]
Saint Martin Island is a small island in the northeastern part of the Bay of Bengal, about 9 km south of the tip of the Cox's Bazar-Teknaf peninsula, and forming the southernmost part of Bangladesh. There is a small adjoining island that is separated at high tide, called Chera Dwip. It is about 8 kilometres west of the northwest coast of Myanmar, at the mouth of the Naf River.
Marinobacterium is a genus of bacteria found in sea water. The cells are rod-shaped and are motile by using one polar flagellum. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated, characterized and identified two species of Marinobacterium from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Salinicola salarius is a Gram-negative, moderately halophilic, piezophilic bacterium that requires pressures of 102 MPa to grow. The species was first isolated from a salt water sample from Anmyeondo, Korea and was formally described in 2007. S salarius cells are aerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods (0.8–0.9x1.3–1.7 μm) that form yellow, smooth, translucent, circular colonies with entire edges. The oxidase- and catalase-positive cells are motile and possess lateral/polar flagella. Growth occurs at 10–45 °C and at pH 5–10. The strain is able to grow at salinities between 0 and 25% NaCl.
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 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.
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.
Shewanella chilikensis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of 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.
Thalassobacillus devorans is a Gram-positive, oxidase positive, catalase negative, rod shaped moderately halophilic and phenol-degrading bacterium from the genus of Thalassobacillus which has been isolated from saline sals from Spain. Single colonies are small in size. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated and biochemically characterized Thalassobacillus devorans from marine sponge of the Saint Martin's Island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. They can hydrolyze gelatin, Tween 40, 60 and 80. They can produce acid from Glycerol, Galactose, D-Glucose, D-Fructose, D-Mannose, Mannitol, N-Acetylglucosamine, Amygdalin, Maltose, D-Melibiose, D-Trehalose, Glycogen, D-Turanose.

(2021) isolated, characterized and identified Photobacterium ganghwense from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Photobacterium marinum is a gram-negative, oxidase and catalase positive, motile bacteria of the genus Photobacterium. Photobacterium marinum are commonly found in marine environment. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated, characterized and identified Photobacterium marinum from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
Vibrio azureus is a gram negative, oxidase and catalase positive marine bacterium. It is commonly found in marine environments and was isolated from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Colonies are medium-sized, round and whitish; individual bacteria have a curved rod shape and are motile. It has been observed to emit a blue light using an additional blue-fluorescent protein.
