Marichromatium is a genus in the phylum Proteobacteria (Bacteria).[1] The name Marichromatium derives from: : Latin noun mare -is, the sea; New Latin neuter gender noun Chromatium, a genus name; New Latin neuter gender noun Marichromatium, the Chromatium of the sea, the truly marine Chromatium.[2]

Species

The genus contains 5 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely[2]

  • M. bheemlicum ( Anil Kumar et al. 2007, ; New Latin neuter gender adjective bheemlicum, pertaining to Bheemli, the place from which the type strain was isolated.)[3]
  • M. fluminis ( Sucharita et al. 2010, ; Latin noun flumen -inis, a river; Latin genitive case noun fluminis, of a river, referring to the isolation of the type strain from sediment of the Baitarani River, located in Kalibanj forest, Orissa, India.)[4]
  • M. gracile ( (Strzeszewski 1913) Imhoff et al. 1998, (Type species of the genus).;: Latin neuter gender adjective gracile, thin, slender.)[5]
  • M. indicum ( Arunasri et al. 2005, ; Latin neuter gender adjective indicum, Indian, pertaining to India, the country in which the type strain was isolated.)[6]
