Aidingimonas Carnimonas Chromohalobacter Cobetia Deleya Halomonas Halotalea Halovibrio Kushneria Modicisalibacter Salicola[1] Salinicola Volcaniella Zymobacter[2] Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Pseudomonadota.
and Halomonas avicenniae were transferred to a new genus called Kushneria (5 species) Several singleton genera were created recently: in 2007, Halotalea alkalilenta was described,[13] Aidingimonas halophila in 2009,[14] Halospina denitrificans in 2006,[11] Modicisalibacter tunisiensis in 2009[15] Salinicola socius in 2009.
[17] The family also contain the recently discovered but uncultured bacterium "Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum" (primary endosymbionts of whiteflies[18]).
Note: Species of Deleya and Halovibrio are now Halomonas The names derives from Halomonas, which is the type genus of the family, plus the suffix -aceae, ending to denote a family[30] Geomicrobiologist Felisa Wolfe-Simon with a NASA funded team is researching a particular strain the family Halomonadaceae, named GFAJ-1, isolated and cultured from sediments collected along the shore of Mono Lake, near Yosemite National Park in eastern California.
[31][32] This GFAJ-1 strain of Halomonadaceae can grow in the presence of high concentrations of arsenic.
