Rhodobium orientis is a phototrophic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile bacterium species from the genus of Rhodobium which has been isolated from coastal seawater from Makurazaki in Japan. [1] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Rhodobium is a genus of purple non-sulfur bacteria. The cells are rod-shaped and reproduce by budding, as in many other members of the Rhizobiales. RNA trees separate it from the others, however, and it is given its own family. R. orientis, the type species, was isolated from seawater in 1995. It is capable of photosynthetic hydrogen production via the nitrogenase enzyme.
Methylocella palustris is a species of bacterium. It is notable for oxidising methane. It is acidophilic and was first found in a peat bogs, representing a novel subtype of serine-pathway methanotrophs, for which a new genus was described. It is aerobic, Gram-negative, colourless, non-motile and its cells can be straight or curved rods. Strain KT is the type strain.
Rhodoplanes elegans is a phototrophic purple nonsulfur bacteria with rod-shaped cells.
Roseivivax halotolerans is a species of bacteria. It is aerobic and bacteriochlorophyll-containing, first isolated from the epiphytes on the stromatolites of a saline lake located on the west coast of Australia. It is chemoheterotrophic, Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped and with subpolar flagella. Its type strain is OCh 210T.
Rhodoplanes is a phototrophic genus of bacteria. Rhodoplanes produces hopanoids like diplopterol, tetrahymanol, 2-methyldiplopterol, 2-methyltetrahymanol, bacteriohopanetetrol, bacteriohopaneaminotriol and carotenoids like spirilloxanthin, rhodopin, anhydrorhodovibrin, 1,1′-dihydroxylycopene and 3,4,3′,4′-tetrahydrospirilloxanthin
Ancylobacter is a genus of aerobic bacteria from the family of Xanthobacteraceae.
Albibacter methylovorans is a methylotrophic, aerobic and facultatively autotrophic bacteria from the genus of Microvirga which has been isolated from dichloromethane contaminated ground water in Switzerland.
Desulfurella is a lithoautotrophic bacteria genus from the family of Desulfobacteraceae.
Methylopila is a genus of bacteria from the family of Methylocystaceae.
Methylopila capsulata is a Gram-negative, aerobic, facultatively methylotrophic, non-spore-forming and motile bacterium species from the genus of Methylopila which has been isolated from soil from Tashkent in Uzbekistan.
Tistrella is a bacterial genus from the family of Rhodospirillaceae. Tistrella produces didemnins.
Microvirgula is a Gram-negative bacteria genus from the family of Neisseriaceae. Up to now there is only one species of this genus known.
Sphingomonas asaccharolytica is a bacterium from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from roots from an apple tree in Japan.
Sphingomonas koreensis is a Gram-negative and aerobic bacteria from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from natural mineral water in Taejon in Korea. Sphingomonas koreensis can cause meningitis on humans.
Sphingomonas pituitosa is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and motile bacteria from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from water from a eutrophic artificial spring in Austria. Sphingomonas pituitosa produces exopolysaccharide.
Sphingomonas pruni is a bacterium from the genus of Sphingomonas which has been isolated from the roots of the tree Prunus persica in Japan .
Desulfovibrio alcoholivorans is a bacterium from the genus of Desulfovibrio which has been isolated from alcohol industry waste water in France.
Porphyrobacter tepidarius is a moderately thermophilic and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Porphyrobacter which has been isolated from a hot spring in Usami in Japan.
Erythromicrobium is a Gram-negative and pleomorphic genus from the family of Sphingomonadaceae which produces bacteriochlorophyll A and carotenoid.
Isochromatium is a Gram-negative, obligately phototrophic and strictly anaerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Chromatiaceae with one known species.
