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.
Novosphingobium pentaromativorans is a species of high-molecular-mass polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium. It is Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented and halophilic. The genome of the type strain US6-1T has been sequenced, revealing the presence of two plasmids. The larger of these plasmids contains the majority of the aromatic-hydrocarbon degrading genes and has been implicated in studies to play an important role in degrading bicyclic aromatic compounds.This ability to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and alkylated PAHs suggests N. pentaromativorans may be used for bioremediation.
Microbacterium xylanilyticum is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, xylan-degrading and non-motile bacterium from the genus Microbacterium which has been isolated from sludge in Cheongju in Korea.
Neptunomonas is an anaerobic and rod-shaped genus of bacteria from the family of Oceanospirillaceae.
Marinobacterium marisflavi is a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, slightly halophilic and motile bacterium from the genus of Marinobacterium which has been isolated from seawater from the Yellow Sea near Incheon Port.
Hydrocarboniphaga effusa is a bacterium from the genus of Hydrocarboniphaga which has been isolated from soil from New Jersey in the United States.
Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila is a strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, mesophilic, non-spore-forming and motile bacterium from the genus of Stenotrophomonas which has been isolated from industrial waste water in Mexico. Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila can degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Celeribacter persicus is a Gram-negative and mesophilic bacterium from the genus of Celeribacter which has been isolated from sediments of a mangrove forest from the Nayband Bay from the Iranian Persian Gulf.
Alcanivorax mobilis is a Gram-negative, hydrocarbon-degrading and motile bacterium from the genus of Alcanivorax which has been isolated from deep-sea sediments from the Indian Ocean.
Tropicibacter naphthalenivorans is a gram-negative, aerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of Tropicibacter which has been isolated from seawater from the Semarang Port in Indonesia.
Desulfosarcina alkanivorans is a hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium from the genus of Desulfosarcina which has been isolated from oil contaminated marine sediments from Shuaiba in Kuwait.
Aestuariicella is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative, and strictly aerobic genus of bacteria from the order Alteromonadales with one known species. Aestuariicella hydrocarbonica was first isolated in 2015 from oil spill contaminated tidal flat sediments from the Dangjin bay in Korea. Due to the recent nature of its discovery, its taxonomic classification has not yet been accepted. Future research into its evolutionary history and genome may change the naming of this organism.
Agarivorans aestuarii is a Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and motile bacterium from the genus of Agarivorans which has been isolated from seawater from the Asan Bay in Korea.
Zobellella maritima is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and motile bacterium from the genus of Zobellella which has been isolated from the beach of Sinduri in Korea. Zobellella maritima is able to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Oceanimonas smirnovii is a Gram-negative, aerobic, melanogenic and chemoorganotrophic bacterium from the genus of Oceanimonas which has been isolated from the Black Sea.
Oceanimonas baumannii is a Gram-negative and motile bacterium from the genus of Oceanimonas which has been isolated from estuarine mud from the River Wear in England.
Virgibacillus phasianinus is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, aerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of Virgibacillus which has been isolated from the faeces of a Swinhoe's pheasant from the Seoul Grand Park in Korea.
Kushneria indalinina is a moderately halophilic, Gram-negative, aerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of Kushneria which has been isolated from a solar saltern from Cabo de Gata.
Kushneria marisflavi is a Gram-negative and halophilic bacterium from the genus of Kushneria which has been isolated from the Yellow Sea in Korea.
Acidimangrovimonas pyrenivorans is a gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile species of bacteria from the genus of Acidimangrovimonas that was first isolated and described in 2018 from sediments drawn from the Pearl River.
