Acidobacteria

Acidobacteria is a phylum of bacteria. Its members are physiologically diverse and ubiquitous, especially in soils, but are under-represented in culture.

The Thermomicrobia is a group of thermophilic green non-sulfur bacteria. Based on species Thermomicrobium roseum and Sphaerobacter thermophilus, this bacteria class has the following description:

Bacillus infernus is a thermophilic, strictly anaerobic bacterium of the genus Bacillus that lives in deep terrestrial subsurface areas. It was first isolated in depths of 2.65 kilometres (1.65 mi) to 2.77 kilometres (1.72 mi) in the Taylorsville Triassic Basin in Virginia, and grew well at 50 °C (122 °F) but not at 40° or 65 °C.

Cycloclasticus is a genus in the phylum Proteobacteria (Bacteria).

Desulfosporosinus is a genus of strictly anaerobic, sulfate-reducing bacteria, often found in soil.

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.

Sphingomonas wittichii is a species of bacteria. It was first isolated from water of the River Elbe. Its type strain is DSM 6014T. It is notable for metabolising dibenzo-p-dioxin and phenazine-1-carboxylic acid.

Cycloclasticus pugetii is a species of bacteria, named in honor of Peter Puget. It is found in marine sediments. It is notable for being an aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria. It is aerobic, gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile by means of single polar flagella. Strain PS-1 is its type strain.

Sphingomonas aromaticivorans is a species of bacteria. It is an aromatic compound-degrading bacteria, it is gram-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile and rod-shaped. It is found in deep-terrestrial-subsurface sediments.
