Exiguobacterium antarcticum is a psychrotolerant Gram-positive bacterium isolated from Antarctic environments, capable of growing at temperatures near freezing. It inhabits cold Antarctic soils, sediments, and ice-associated environments. This species is of scientific interest as a model organism for understanding cold-adaptation in bacteria and producing cold-active enzymes with biotechnological applications.

Exiguobacterium marinum is a Gram-positive bacterium isolated from marine environments, capable of surviving salt and other marine stressors. It inhabits coastal and oceanic marine habitats, contributing to microbial community diversity in marine sediments and waters. Like its relatives, it produces carotenoid pigments and displays tolerance to diverse environmental conditions.
