Fodinibacter
Fodinibacter is a genus of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The bacteria are strictly aerobic and mesophilic. Cells of the genus are irregular rods and grow very poorly in the absence of NaCl. The genus name is derived from Latin fodina (mine), referring to the salt mine from which the type species was isolated.
