Marine Bacterium
Marine prokaryotes are marine bacteria and marine archaea. They are defined by their habitat as prokaryotes that live in marine environments, that is, in the saltwater of seas or oceans or the brackish water of coastal estuaries. All cellular life forms can be divided into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, whereas prokaryotes are the organisms that do not have a nucleus enclosed within a membrane. The three-domain system of classifying life adds another division: the prokaryotes are divided into two domains of life, the microscopic bacteria and the microscopic archaea, while everything else, the eukaryotes, become the third domain. Prokaryotes play important roles in ecosystems as decomposers recycling nutrients. Some prokaryotes are pathogenic, causing disease and even death in plants and animals.

Mycale Adhaerens
''Mycale adhaerens'', the purple scallop sponge, is a species of marine demosponge in the family Mycalidae. ''Mycale'' is a large genus and this species is placed in the subgenus ''Aegogropila'' making its full name, ''Mycale'' (''Aegogropila'') ''adhaerens''. It grows symbiotically on the valves of scallop shells and is native to the west coast of North America. Description ''Mycale adhaerens'' forms a thin encrusting layer on the valves of living scallop shells such as ''Chlamys hastata'' and ''Chlamys rubida''. It ranges in colour from yellowish-brown through purple to pink. The only other species of sponge growing on the Pacific Coast with which it might be confused is ''Myxilla incrustans''; that species is usually some shade of brown, has a finer, less fibrous structure and has larger oscula. Ecology The relationship between the sponge and the scallop on which it lives is mutualistic, each receiving benefits. The scallop is often preyed on by the starfish ''Evasterias tro ...

Alteromonadales
The Alteromonadales are an order of Pseudomonadota. Although they have been treated as a single family, the Alteromonadaceae, they were divided into eight by Ivanova ''et al.'' in 2004. The cells are straight or curved rods. They are motile by the use of a single flagellum A flagellum (; ) is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility. Many protists with flagella are termed as flagellates. A microorganism may have f .... Most of the species are marine. References * George M.
