Bacteria
Bacteria (; singular: bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and the deep biosphere of Earth's crust. Bacteria are vital in many stages of the nutrient cycle by recycling nutrients such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere. The nutrient cycle includes the decomposition of dead bodies; bacteria are responsible for the putrefaction stage in this process. In the biological communities surrounding hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, extremophile bacteria provide the nutrients needed to sustain life by converting dissolved compounds, such as hydrogen sulphide and methane, to energy. Bacteria also live in symbiotic and parasitic relationsh ...

Pseudomonadota
Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria) is a major phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. The renaming of phyla in 2021 remains controversial among microbiologists, many of whom continue to use the earlier names of long standing in the literature. The phylum Proteobacteria includes a wide variety of pathogenic genera, such as ''Escherichia'', '' Salmonella'', ''Vibrio'', ''Yersinia'', ''Legionella'', and many others.Slonczewski JL, Foster JW, Foster E. Microbiology: An Evolving Science 5th Ed. WW Norton & Company; 2020. Others are free-living (nonparasitic) and include many of the bacteria responsible for nitrogen fixation. Carl Woese established this grouping in 1987, calling it informally the "purple bacteria and their relatives". Because of the great diversity of forms found in this group, it was later informally named Proteobacteria, after Proteus, a Greek god of the sea capable of assuming many different shapes (not after the Proteobacteria genus ''Proteus''). In 2021 the Internat ...

Gammaproteobacteria
Gammaproteobacteria is a class of bacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria). It contains about 250 genera, which makes it the most genera-rich taxon of the Prokaryotes. Several medically, ecologically, and scientifically important groups of bacteria belong to this class. It is composed by all Gram-negative microbes and is the most phylogenetically and physiologically diverse class of Proteobacteria. These microorganisms can live in several terrestrial and marine environments, in which they play various important roles, including ''extreme environments'' such as hydrothermal vents. They generally have different shapes - rods, curved rods, cocci, spirilla, and filaments and include free living bacteria, biofilm formers, commensals and symbionts, some also have the distinctive trait of being bioluminescent. Metabolisms found in the different genera are very different; there are both aerobic and anaerobic (obligate or facultative) species, chemolithoautotrophic ...

Oceanospirillales
The Oceanospirillales are an order of Pseudomonadota with ten families. Description Bacteria in the ''Oceanospirillales'' are metabolically and morphologically diverse, with some able to grow in the presence of oxygen and others requiring an anaerobic environment. Members of the ''Oceanospirillales'' can be halotolerant or halophilic and require high salt concentrations to grow. While they grow in diverse niches, all ''Oceanospirillales'' derive their energy from the breakdown of various organic products. Bacteria in the ''Oceanospirillales'' are motile except for those in the genus ''Alcanivorax''. Bacteria in the ''Oceanospirillales'' include hydrocarbon-degrading groups such as ''Oleispira antarctica'', ''Thalassolituus oleivorans'', and ''Oleiphilus messinensis'' , which were found in the indigenous microbial community in deep waters after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. They are also common members of bacterial communities in the water column of the hadal The ...

Halomonadaceae
Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Pseudomonadota. History The family was originally described in 1988 to contain the genera ''Halomonas'' and ''Deleya''. In 1989, ''Chromobacterium marismortui'' was reclassified as ''Chromohalobacter marismortui'' forming a third genus in the family Halomonadaceae. Subsequently, in 1990 a species was discovered and was originally proposed to be called ''Volcaniella eurihalina'' forming a new genus in the ''Halomonadaceae'', but was later (in 1995) reclassified as a member of the genus ''Halomonas''. The species ''Carnimonas nigrificans'' (sole member of genus) was not placed in the family due to the lack of two out of 15 descriptive 16S rRNA signature sequences, but it has been proposed to reclassify it into the family. In 1996, the family was later reorganised by unifying genera ''Deleya'', ''Halomonas'' and ''Halovibrio'' and the species ''Paracoccus halodenitrificans'' into ''Halomonas'' and placing ''Zymobacter'' in this family.

Chromohalobacter
''Chromohalobacter'' is a gram negative, oxidase and catalase positive, rod shaped, motile marine Pseudomonadota. It is commonly found in marine environments. Two species of ''Chromohalobacter'' ('' Chromohalobacter marismortui'' and ''Chromohalobacter salexigens'') was isolated from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Colonies are medium-sized, round and yellowish. It was established by Ventosa and others in 1989, with the reclassification of ''Chromobacterium marismortui'' as ''Chromohalobacter marismortui''. Ventosa, A., Gutierrez, M. C., Garcia, M. T. & Ruiz-Berraquero, F. (1989) ''Classification of ''Chromobacterium marismortui'' in a new genus, ''Chromohalobacter'' gen. nov., as ''Chromohalobacter marismortui'' comb. nov., nom. rev.'' International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, volume 39, pages 382–386. As of 2007, it comprised the following species In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and ...

Halotolerant
Halotolerance is the adaptation of living organisms to conditions of high salinity. Halotolerant species tend to live in areas such as hypersaline lakes, coastal dunes, saline deserts, salt marshes, and inland salt seas and springs. Halophiles are organisms that live in highly saline environments, and require the salinity to survive, while halotolerant organisms (belonging to different domains of life) can grow under saline conditions, but do not require elevated concentrations of salt for growth. Halophytes are salt-tolerant higher plants. Halotolerant microorganisms are of considerable biotechnological interest. Applications Fields of scientific research relevant to halotolerance include biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, ecology, and genetics. An understanding of halotolerance can be applicable to areas such as arid-zone agriculture, xeriscaping, aquaculture (of fish or algae), bioproduction of desirable compounds (such as phycobiliproteins or carotenoid ...
