Oceanospirillales

GFAJ-1 is a strain of rod-shaped bacteria in the family Halomonadaceae. It is an extremophile that was isolated from the hypersaline and alkaline Mono Lake in eastern California by geobiologist Felisa Wolfe-Simon, a NASA research fellow in residence at the US Geological Survey. In a 2010 Science journal publication, the authors claimed that the microbe, when starved of phosphorus, is capable of substituting arsenic for a small percentage of its phosphorus to sustain its growth. Immediately after publication, other microbiologists and biochemists expressed doubt about this claim, which was robu

species of bacterium

Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Pseudomonadota.

The Oceanospirillales are an order of Pseudomonadota with ten families.

Halomonas is a genus of halophilic (salt-tolerating) bacteria. It grows over the range of 5 to 25% NaCl.

Alcanivorax is a genus of alkane-degrading marine bacteria.

Oceanospirillaceae is a family of Pseudomonadota. Most genera in this family live in environments with high concentrations of salt; they are halotolerant or halophilic. They are marine, except Balneatrix which is found in fresh water and Venatorbacter, which is from terrestrial origin.All members are strictly aerobic, except Neptunomonas which can perform fermentation reactions.

Alcanivoracaceae is a family of Pseudomonadota. Cells of the species are rod-shaped.

Marinomonas is an aerobic bacteria genus from the family of Oceanospirillaceae.
