Halomonas venusta
Halomonas venusta is a Gram-negative halophilic Pseudomonadota, first described as Alcaligenes venustus and later reclassified as Halomonas venusta, along with other species when the genera Deleya, Halomonas, and Halovibrio and the species Paracoccus halodenitrificans were unified into a single genus, Halomonas, while the genus Zymobacter was placed in the family Halomonadaceae. The name stems from the Latin noun venusta which means "lovely" or "beautiful". It was originally isolated in marine water from Hawaii.
