Mariniflexile Explained

Mariniflexile is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria). The various species have been recovered from sea water, sea urchins, springs, brackish water, and an oyster.

Etymology

The name Mariniflexile derives from: Latin adjective marinus. Latin participle adjective flexilis -e, pliant, pliable, flexible; Neo-Latin neuter gender noun Mariniflexile, is a marine bacterium. The bacteria are rods, aerobic, move by gliding, gram negative, non-spore forming, and when grown on appropriate medium, the colonies are orange.^[1]

Species

The genus contains the following species:

• M. fucanivorans (Barbeyron et al. 2008, ; Neo-Latin noun fucanum, fucan (polyfucose); Latin participle adjective vorans, devouring; Neo-Latin participle adjective fucanivorans, fucan-devouring.)^{[2] [3]}
• M. gromovii (Nedashkovskaya et al. 2006, (Type species of the genus).; Neo-Latin genitive case masculine gender noun gromovii, of Gromov, in honour of B. V. Gromov, the Russian aquatic and marine microbiologist.)^[4]
• M. aquimaris ( Wayne et al. 1987 ; Stackebrandt & Goebel, 1994).) ^{[5] [6]}
• M. jejuense (2006 emend. Jung and Yoon 2013.)^[7]
• M. soesokkakense (2006 Nedashkovskaya et al.; 2006 emend. Jung and Yoon 2013.)
• M. ostreae (Park et al. 2015, sp. nov)^[8]
