Planomicrobium okeanokoites is a motile, halotolerant coccus associated with marine and coastal environments, with its species name referencing oceanic origins. It inhabits seawater, marine sediments, and coastal soils. This aerobic chemoheterotroph decomposes organic matter in saline aquatic and coastal terrestrial environments.

Planomicrobium psychrophilum is a cold-adapted, motile coccus capable of growth at low temperatures, making it well-suited for cold environments. It has been isolated from polar and alpine soils, cold seawater, and refrigerated environments worldwide. This psychrophilic bacterium decomposes organic matter at temperatures near freezing.
