The Oceanospirillales are an order of Proteobacteria, with seven families.[2]

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]

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.[4] In 2007, a seventh family was added with the identification of Litoricola lipolytica and the creation of its family Litoricolaceae.[2][5]
