Genera[2]

The Marinilabiliaceae are a family of bacteria.[1][3]

Characteristics[edit]

Bacterial cells that belong to the Marinilabiliaceae family are typically thin, flexible rods. Mostly species are motile by gliding motily. They are saccharolytic and need NaCl for growing.[3]

Metabolism[edit]

All species of Marinilabiliaceae are heterotrophic, they do not perform photosynthesis.[3] 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.[3]
