Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens KI72, popularly known as nylon-eating bacteria, is a strain of Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens that can digest certain by-products of nylon 6 manufacture. It uses a set of enzymes to digest nylon, popularly known as nylonase.

<i>Alcanivorax</i>

Alcanivorax borkumensis is an alkane-degrading marine bacterium which naturally propagates and becomes predominant in crude-oil-containing seawater when nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients are supplemented.

Sphingomonas yanoikuyae is a short rod-shaped, strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, chemoheterotrophic species of bacteria that is yellow or off-white in color. Its type strain is JCM 7371. It is notable for degrading a variety of aromatic compounds including biphenyl, naphthalene, phenanthrene, toluene, m-, and p-xylene. S. yanoikuyae was discovered by Brian Goodman on the southern coast of Papua New Guinea. However, Sphingomonas have a wide distribution across freshwater, seawater, and terrestrial habitats. This is due to the bacteria’s ability to grow and survive under low-nutrient conditions as it can utilize a broad range of organic compounds.

Alcanivorax pacificus is a pyrene-degrading marine gammaprotobacterium. It is of the genus Alcanivorax, a group of marine bacteria known for degrading hydrocarbons. When originally proposed, the genus Alcanivorax comprised six distinguishable species. However, A. pacificus, a seventh strain, was isolated from deep sea sediments in the West Pacific Ocean by Shanghai Majorbio Bio-pharm Technology Co., Ltd. in 2011. A. pacificus’s ability to degrade hydrocarbons can be employed for cleaning up oil-contaminated oceans through bioremediation. The genomic differences present in this strain of Alcanivorax that distinguish it from the original consortium are important to understand to better utilize this bacteria for bioremediation.

Gordonia sp. nov. Q8 is a bacterium in the phylum of Actinobacteria. It was discovered in 2017 as one of eighteen new species isolated from the Jiangsu Wei5 oilfield in East China with the potential for bioremediation. Strain Q8 is rod-shaped and gram-positive with dimensions 1.0–4.0 μm × 0.5–1.2 μm and an optimal growth temperature of 40 °C. Phylogenetically, it is most closely related to Gordonia paraffinivorans and Gordonia alkaliphila, both of which are known bioremediators. Q8 was assigned as a novel species based on a <70% ratio of DNA homology with other Gordonia bacteria.

Perspicuibacter marinus is smooth, lenticular, light yellow, semi-translucent, circular colonies with a fluttered edge found on surface seawater at Muroto city, Kochi prefecture, Japan. “Cells contain carotenoid(s), and the dominant carotenoid that anatomically similar to beta carotene. Cells are 0.3–0.860.8–3.0 mm, grow at 15–31 uC, at pH 7.5–8.5 and with 2.0–3.5% (w/v) NaCl ” according to Teramoto M in the article Perspicuibacter marinus gen. nov., sp. nov., a semi-transparent bacterium isolated from surface seawater, and description of Arenicellaceae fam. nov. and Arenicellales. For an energy source it utilizes Pyruvate as a single carbon source and does not degrade casein, chitin or starch. The 2-9 strain is a gram-stain-negative, non-motile, mesophilic, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. Perspicuibacter marinus is general proposed novel species - a semi-transparent bacterium secluded from surface seawater of Muroto City, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, and description of Arenicellaceae family novel and Arenicellales ordinance novel. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence show that strain 2-9T fell within the class of Gammaproteobacteria and was most closely related to the genus Arenicella. According to results of the study - 92.7–93.0% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to type strains of species of this genus - of an unclassified order within this class. The DNA G+C content of strain 2-9T was 41.7 mol%.
