Exiguobacterium is a genus of bacilli and a member of the low GC phyla of Bacillota. Collins et al. first described the genus Exiguobacterium with the characterization of E. aurantiacum strain DSM6208T from an alkaline potato processing plant. [2]

Exiguobacterium are Gram-positive, rod-shaped, nonspore-forming, and motile bacteria. The cell morphology ranges from ovoid, rods, double rods, or chain of cells depending on species, strain, and environmental conditions (Vishnivetskaya et al., 2009).

Exiguobacterium is a versatile genus whose members are commonly found in various habitats. To better understand the mechanisms underlying the universality of Exiguobacterium, we collected 105 strains from diverse environments and performed large …

The bacterial genus Exiguobacterium accommodates many versatile species isolated from diverse environments. Exiguobacterium was described as a genus approximately three decades ago, and now, 17 species, growing over a broad range of …

Apr 11, 2017 · This review provides a broad view of the versatile genus Exiguobacterium and its potential for applications in agriculture, the environment and industry, as well as the underlying genomic determinants that drive its diversity and adaptability to various extreme environments.

Apr 19, 2009 · Bacteria of the genus Exiguobacterium are low G + C, Gram-positive facultative anaerobes that have been repeatedly isolated from ancient Siberian permafrost.

Jul 21, 2017 · Bacterial species belonging to the genus Exiguobacterium are facultative anaerobic, non-spore-forming, Gram-positive bacilli, and rarely associated with human infections. Herein, we reported the first case of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and bacteremia due to Exiguobacterium spp. in China.

Jan 1, 2020 · Exiguobacterium are Gram-positive, rod-shaped, nonspore-forming, and motile bacteria. The cell morphology ranges from ovoid, rods, double rods, or chain of cells depending on species, strain, and environmental conditions (Vishnivetskaya et al., 2009).

The soil bacterium Exiguobacterium is highly resistant to As, with the removal potential of 90% for As (III) and 99% for As (V), by solubilizing phosphate and producing indoleacetic acid and exopolysaccharide in the presence of As.

Jan 8, 2024 · In order to better understand the mechanisms of adaptation, we studied the (pan)genome of Exiguobacterium, a poly-extremophile bacterium able to grow in a wide range of environments, from permafrost to hot springs.
