Alcanivorax limicola sp. nov., isolated from a soda alkali-saline soil

Alcanivorax quisquiliarum sp. nov., isolated from anaerobic fermentation liquid of food waste by high-throughput cultivation

“…They are characterized by the absence of respiratory quinone. These findings indicated that this genus may have special physiological characteristics and functions to adapt to complex and special ecological environment [4–7, 10, 11].…”

“…At the time of writing this manuscript, the genus Alcanivorax accommodates 16 species with validly published names (https://lpsn.dsmz.de/genus/alcanivorax) and 15 genome sequences [3]. Most bacteria of Alcanivorax are isolated from the marine or haloalkaline environments, including deep sea, oil-polluted seawaters [4][5][6][7][8], shrimp cultivation pond [9], saline lake [10] and soda alkali-saline soil [11], and most of them have the capacity to utilize a variety of n-alkanes, playing significant roles in marine ecological restoration and the marine carbon cycle [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Members of the genus Alcanivorax are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile or non-motile rods, and have the ability to degrade hydrocarbons [1,2].…”

Alcanivorax borkumensis and Bioremediation: The Actual Perspective of a Vintage Bacteria

“…Since its isolation, different species have thus far been described, including A. jadensis and A. venustensis [10,11], A. dieselolei [12], A. balearicus [13], A. hongdengensis [14] and A. pacificus [15] that were isolated from marine environments. Recently been isolated other species as A. marinus [16], A. xenomutans [17], A. gelatiniphagus [18], A. mobilis [19], A. nanhaiticus [20], A. indicus [21], A. profundi [22], A. sediminis [23], A. profundimaris [24], A. limicola [25], A. quisquiliarum [26] and A. xiamenensis [2].…”
