Description

Oceanospirillales are metabolically and morphologically diverse, with some able to grow in the presence of oxygen and others requiring an anaerobic environment.[3] Most Oceanospirillales are prefer or require high salt concentrations to grow.[3] While they grow in diverse niches, all Oceanospirillales derive their energy from the breakdown of various organic products. All Oceanospirillales are motile except for members of the genus Alcanivorax.[3] Oceanospirillales include hydrocarbon-degrading groups including Oleispira antarctica, Thalassolituus oleivorans, and Oleiphilus messinensis , which were found in the indigenous microbial community in deep waters after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 [4]

History

The order Oceanospirillales was first described in 2005 in the second edition of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, consisting of six families and with the type genus of Oceanospirillum.[5] In 2007, a seventh family was added with the identification of Litoricola lipolytica and the creation of its family Litoricolaceae.[2][6]

gollark: <@550187576049270798> Desktop Linux is usable. Linux distros are generally way more customizable, run better without £1000 hardware, actually have package managers, and don't have all the Apple app store stuff going on.
gollark: Also odd CPU choice.
gollark: Odd hostname.
gollark: ~~btw I use arch~~
gollark: I mean, I don't actually know what task manager equivalents are available for that because I just check via htop or netdata mostly.
