Exiguobacterium indicum is a Gram-positive, psychrotolerant bacterium in the family Bacillaceae, isolated from cold Himalayan glacial environments in India. Its ability to grow at low temperatures makes it of interest for cold-adapted microbial research.
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.
