Marinobacter is a genus of bacteria found in sea water. They are also found in a variety of salt lakes.^[3] A number of strains and species can degrade hydrocarbons.^[4] The species involved in hydrocarbon degradation include M. alkaliphilus, M. arcticus, M. hydrocarbonoclasticus, M. maritimus, and M. squalenivorans.^[5]

There are currently 46 species of Marinobacter that are characterized by Gram-negative rods and salt-tolerance.^[3]
