Marinobacter is a genus of Proteobacteria found in sea water. They are also found in a variety of salt lakes.[3] A number of strains and species can degrade hydrocarbons.[4] The species involved in hydrocarbon degradation include M. alkaliphilus, M. arcticus, M. hydrocarbonoclasticus, M. maritimus & M. squalenivorans.[5]

There are currently 46 species of Marinobacter that are characterized by Gram-negative rods and salt-tolerance.[3]
