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. [1] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Single colonies are small (pin headed) in size. [7] S.I. Paul et al. (2021) [7] isolated and biochemically characterized Thalassobacillus devorans (strains WS8, WS24, WS31) from marine sponge (Haliclona rosea) of the Saint Martin's Island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. [7] They can hydrolyze gelatin, Tween 40, 60 and 80. [7] 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. [7]
