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 profundum is a psychrotolerant Gram-positive bacterium isolated from deep-sea environments, reflecting its ability to survive cold, high-pressure conditions. Its name (profundum meaning deep) reflects its origin in deep ocean habitats. This species is of interest to researchers studying extremophilic microorganisms and cold-active enzymes relevant to biotechnology.
