Genus of bacteria
Marinobacter is a genus of bacteria found in sea water. They are also found in a variety of salt lakes.[ 3]
A number of strains and species can degrade hydrocarbons .[ 4] The species involved in hydrocarbon degradation include M. alkaliphilus , M. arcticus , M. hydrocarbonoclasticus , M. maritimus , and M. squalenivorans .[ 5]
There are currently 46 species of Marinobacter that are characterized by Gram-negative rods and salt-tolerance.[ 3]
