Pontibacter aurantiacus is an orange-pigmented, Gram-negative bacterium in the phylum Bacteroidetes, first isolated from the Black Sea. It inhabits saline coastal and marine sediment environments. This aerobic chemoheterotroph produces carotenoid pigments and degrades organic matter in saline aquatic environments.

Pontibacter korlensis is a Gram-negative, orange-pigmented bacterium first isolated from saline soils near Korla, Xinjiang, China. It inhabits arid desert soils and saline terrestrial environments of Central Asia. This aerobic chemoheterotroph produces carotenoid pigments and is adapted to extreme arid and saline conditions.
