Maritimimonas

Maritimimonas is a Gram-negative and aerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Flavobacteriaceae with one known species. Maritimimonas rapanae has been isolated from the gut of the whelk Rapana venosa from the South Sea in Korea. M. rapanae requires sea salt for growth and is unable to grow in media supplemented with sodium chloride alone. M. rapanae is positive for catalase and oxidase production.
