Pseudoalteromonas is a genus of marine bacteria. In 1995, Gauthier et al proposed Pseudoalteromonas as a new genus to be split from Alteromonas. The Pseudoalteromonas species that were described before 1995 were originally part of the genus Alteromonas, and were reassigned to Pseudoalteromonas based on their rRNA-DNA analysis.
Corticovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Corticoviridae. Corticoviruses are bacteriophages; that is, their natural hosts are bacteria. The genus contains two species. The name is derived from Latin cortex, corticis. However, prophages closely related to PM2 are abundant in the genomes of aquatic bacteria, suggesting that the ecological importance of corticoviruses might be underestimated. Bacteriophage PM2 was first described in 1968 after isolation from seawater sampled from the coast of Chile.
Pseudoalteromonas citrea is a yellow-pigmented marine bacterium that is antibiotic-producing and was isolated from Mediterranean waters off Nice. Originally named Alteromonas citrea, nearly two decades later it was reclassified as part of the Genus Pseudoalteromonas.
Pseudoalteromonas distincta is a marine bacterium.
Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii is a marine bacterium.
Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra is a rod-shaped gram-negative marine bacterium.
Pseudoalteromonas issachenkonii is a marine bacterium which was isolated from the brown alga Fucus evanescens near the Kurile Islands.
Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea is a marine bacterium which was isolated from seawater near Nice.
Pseudoalteromonas maricaloris is a marine bacterium which was isolated from the sponge Fascaplysinopsis reticulata in the Coral Sea.
Pseudoalteromonas paragorgicola is a marine bacterium isolated from a sponge in the Pacific Ocean.
Pseudoalteromonas peptidolytica is a marine bacterium isolated from the sea surrounding Yamato Island in the Sea of Japan.
Algicola sagamiensis is a marine bacterium isolated from sea water in Sagami Bay. It was originally named Pseudoalteromonas sagamiensis but was reclassified in 2007 into the genus Algicola.
Pseudoalteromonas tetraodonis is a marine bacterium isolated from the surface slime of the puffer fish. It secretes the neurotoxin, tetrodotoxin. It was originally described in 1990 as Alteromonas tetraodonis but was reclassified in 2001 to the genus Pseudoalteromonas.
Pseudoalteromonas translucida is a marine bacterium isolated from the Gulf of Peter the Great in the Sea of Japan.
Pseudoalteromonas tunicata is a marine bacterium isolated from the tunicate Ciona intestinalis.
Pseudoalteromonas ulvae is a marine bacterium isolated from the alga Ulva lactuca at the intertidal zone near Sydney.
Pseudoalteromonas undina is a marine bacterium isolated from seawater off the coast of Northern California. It was originally classified as Alteromonas undina but was reclassified in 1995 to the genus Pseudoalteromonas.
Pseudoalteromonas donghaensis is a marine bacterium which was originally isolated from seawater near South Korea.
Pseudoalteromonas lipolytica is a marine bacterium which was isolated from the Yangtze River.
Pseudoalteromonas spongiae is a marine bacterium isolated from the sponge Mycale adhaerens in Hong Kong.
