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.

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.
