Salinicola salarius is a Gram-negative, moderately halophilic, piezophilic bacterium that requires pressures of 102 MPa to grow. The species was first isolated from a salt water sample from Anmyeondo, Korea and was formally described in 2007. S salarius cells are aerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods (0.8–0.9x1.3–1.7 μm) that form yellow, smooth, translucent, circular colonies with entire edges. The oxidase- and catalase-positive cells are motile and possess lateral/polar flagella. Growth occurs at 10–45 °C and at pH 5–10. The strain is able to grow at salinities between 0 and 25% NaCl.

It is commonly found in marine environments and was isolated from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Colonies are medium-sized, round and whitish; individual bacteria have a curved rod shape and are motile. It has been observed to emit a blue light using an additional blue-fluorescent protein.
Vibrio pelagius is a gram negative, oxidase and catalase positive marine bacterium described in 1971. It is commonly found in marine environments and has been isolated from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Colonies are round and whitish, of medium size; individual bacteria have a curved rod shape and are motile.
