Clavibacter
Clavibacter is a genus of aerobic Gram-positive bacteria.
Sutterella
Sutterella is a genus of Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, Betaproteobacteria whose species have been isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract as well as canine feces. This genus of the family Sutterellaceae currently encompasses 4 distinct species, though at least 5 additional species have been proposed that do not yet meet International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) standards for classification. Sutterella are frequently referred to as commensal in the context of human hosts, but are associated with inflammation, which has implications for a number of diseases.

Rhodoferax
Rhodoferax is a genus of Betaproteobacteria belonging to the purple nonsulfur bacteria. Originally, Rhodoferax species were included in the genus Rhodocyclus as the Rhodocyclus gelatinous-like group. The genus Rhodoferax was first proposed in 1991 to accommodate the taxonomic and phylogenetic discrepancies arising from its inclusion in the genus Rhodocyclus. Rhodoferax currently comprises four described species: R. fermentans, R. antarcticus, R. ferrireducens, and R. saidenbachensis. R. ferrireducens, lacks the typical phototrophic character common to two other Rhodoferax species. This differe

thumb | right | A Tsukamurella pseudospumae disk Tsukamurella is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and obligate aerobic bacterial genus from the family of Tsukamurellaceae. Most of the strains of Tsukamurella degrade starch. Some Tsukamurella species can cause infections in humans.
Glaciimonas
Glaciimonas is a genus of bacteria in the family Oxalobacteraceae. Its name comes from glaciers where it was first found and monad, a single cell. Glaciimonas = a cell from the glacier.
Rhizobacter
Rhizobacter is a bacterial genus from the class Gammaaproteobacteria order Pseudomonadales. It is a plant pathogenic bacterium and, like a few other phytopathogenic bacteria, produces tumors in infected plants. It appears to have an extremely wide host range, producing tumors (galls) on the roots, stems and tubers of at least 46 species of plants from 24 families, which includes many economically important species such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea). The type species, Rhizobacter dauci was first identified causing carrot bacterial gall in Japan and was describ

Dehalococcoides is a genus of bacteria within class Dehalococcoidia that obtain energy via the oxidation of hydrogen and subsequent reductive dehalogenation of halogenated organic compounds in a mode of anaerobic respiration called organohalide respiration. They are well known for their great potential to remediate halogenated ethenes and aromatics. They are the only bacteria known to transform highly chlorinated dioxins, PCBs. In addition, they are the only known bacteria to transform tetrachloroethene (perchloroethene, PCE) to ethene.

Paraburkholderia
Paraburkholderia is a genus of Pseudomonadota that are gram negative, slightly curved rods that are motile by means of flagella. Paraburkholderia members are usually environmental bacteria, including some that can associate with plants or form root nodules, and unlike Burkholderia species are not commonly associated with human infection. Paraburkholderia members form a monophyletic clade within the Burkholderiaceae family, which is what prompted their distinction as a genus independent from Burkholderia species, in combination with the finding of robust conserved signature indels which are uni
Enhydrobacter
Enhydrobacter is a genus of bacteria which belongs to the class Alphaproteobacteria. So far, only one species is known (Enhydrobacter aerosaccus). Enhydrobacter has been discussed to be reclassified to the family Rhodospirillaceae and the class Alphaproteobacteria. Because of its oxidase positive it can not be placed in the family Enterobacteriaceae as it is not a parasite of birds or mammals.

The genus currently includes 31 species or subspecies, most of these were isolated from the intestinal tract of humans or animals. Limosilactobacillus reuteri has been used as a model organism to evaluate the host-adaptation of lactobacilli to the human and animal intestine and for the recruitment of intestinal lact
