In taxonomy, Ruegeria is a genus of the Rhodobacteraceae. This genus was formerly known as the marine Agrobacterium before they were reclassified in 1998. It bears in fact the name of Hans-Jürgen Rüger, a German microbiologist, for his contribution to the taxonomy of marine species of Agrobacterium.
Fibrobacterota is a small bacterial phylum which includes many of the major rumen bacteria, allowing for the degradation of plant-based cellulose in ruminant animals. Members of this phylum were categorized in other phyla. The genus Fibrobacter was removed from the genus Bacteroides in 1988.
The Gemmatimonadota are a phylum of bacteria established in 2003. The phylum contains two classes Gemmatimonadetes and Longimicrobia.
Alteromonas is a genus of Pseudomonadota found in sea water, either in the open ocean or in the coast. It is Gram-negative. Its cells are curved rods with a single polar flagellum.
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobe, nonmotile bacterium that is often found in association with localized aggressive periodontitis, a severe infection of the periodontium. It is also suspected to be involved in chronic periodontitis. Less frequently, A. actinomycetemcomitans is associated with nonoral infections such as endocarditis. Its role in aggressive periodontitis was first discovered by Danish-born periodontist Jørgen Slots, a professor of dentistry and microbiology at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry.
The Chloroflexota are a phylum of bacteria containing isolates with a diversity of phenotypes, including members that are aerobic thermophiles, which use oxygen and grow well in high temperatures; anoxygenic phototrophs, which use light for photosynthesis ; and anaerobic halorespirers, which uses halogenated organics as electron acceptors.
Tannerella forsythia is an anaerobic, Gram-negative bacterial species of the Bacteroidota phylum. It has been implicated in periodontal diseases and is a member of the red complex of periodontal pathogens. T. forsythia was previously named Bacteroides forsythus and Tannerella forsythensis.
Rhizobacter is a bacterial genus from the class Betaproteobacteria order Burkholderiales. It is a plant pathogenic bacterium and, like a few other phytopathogenic bacteria, produces tumors in infected plants. It appears to have an extremely wide host range, producing tumors (galls) on the roots, stems and tubers of at least 46 species of plants from 24 families, which includes many economically important species such as tomato and cabbage. The type species, Rhizobacter dauci was first identified causing carrot bacterial gall in Japan and was described in 1988.
Actinoalloteichus is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Actinophytocola is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Agromyces is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Aidingimonas is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).
Alishewanella is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (bacteria).
Laribacter is a bacterial genus in the family of Neisseriaceae. Laribacter hongkongensis is the only species in the genus, and it has been isolated from human cases of diarrhea. However, its role in causing diarrhea is unproven, even though it has been hypothesized.
Laceyella is a Gram-positive, thermophilic, spore-forming and aerobic bacterial genus from the family of Thermoactinomycetaceae. The genus Laceyella is namened after the English microbiologist John Lacey.
Polycladomyces abyssicola is a Gram-positive, aerobic, heterotrophic, thermophilic and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Planifilum which has been isolated from hemipelagic sediments from deep seawater.
Alkalibacterium is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria).
Mameliella is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria). The name Mameliella derives from: Neo-Latin feminine gender dim. noun Mameliella, arbitrary name derived from the acronym MMEL, marine microbial ecology laboratory.
Acanthopleuribacter pedis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium found in marine environments.
The Ignavibacteriales are an order of obligately anaerobic, non-photosynthetic bacteria that are closely related to the green sulfur bacteria.
