''M. yixingensis''
''M. yixingensis'' was the second species discovered after being isolated from farmland soil in Yixing, China in 2015. The species was identified via its 16S rRNA sequences, for which the samples were most related to those of ''M. plantisponsor'', placing it in the ''Mangrovibacter'' genus. ''M. yixingensis'' notably have peritrichous flagella, with them coming from all over the cell body.
''M. phragmitis''
''M. phragmitis'' was the third and most recent species discovered and was isolated from the roots of tall reed (''Phragmites karka'') in Odisha, India. The 16S rRNA sequences for the species were most related to ''M. plantisponsor'' and ''M. yixingensis''. ''M. phragmitis'' is slightly halophilic and grows optimally at 1% NaCl.
