The Marinilabiliaceae are a family of bacteria.[1]

Characteristics

The cells are thin, flexible rods. Mostly species are motile by gliding. They are saccharolytic and need NaCl for growing.[1]

Metabolismen

All species of Marinilabiliaceae are heterotrophic, they do not perform photosynthesis.[1] The genera Alkaliflexus and Anaerophaga as well as some other genera have a strictly fermentative metabolism. Marinilabilia is facultatively anaerobic. It has respiratory and fermentative types of metabolism.[1]
