Exiguobacterium aestuarii is a Gram-positive bacterium isolated from estuarine (aestuarium) environments, tolerating fluctuating salinity and temperature conditions typical of tidal habitats. It inhabits coastal mudflats and estuarine sediments where it participates in organic matter decomposition. This species is characteristic of the stress-tolerant Exiguobacterium genus found across diverse environments.

Exiguobacterium aurantiacum is an orange-pigmented, Gram-positive bacterium first isolated from a potato-processing plant, producing vivid carotenoid pigments that protect it against oxidative stress. It is a versatile, stress-tolerant organism found in a range of environments from food processing facilities to environmental soils. Members of Exiguobacterium are noted for extremotolerance, surviving wide temperature and pH ranges.
