Chromohalobacter is a genus of Proteobacteria. It was established by Ventosa and others in 1989, with the reclassification of Chromobacterium marismortui as Chromohalobacter marismortui.[1][2] As of 2007, it comprised the following species:[2]

  • C. beijerinckii, formerly Pseudomonas beijerinckii (T. Hof, 1935[3]; Peçonek and others, 2006[4])
  • C. canadensis (Arahal and others, 2001).
  • C. israelensis (Arahal and others, 2001).
  • C. japonicus (Sanches-Porro and others, 2007[5])
  • C. marismortui (Ventosa and others, 1989[1]).
  • C. nigrandesensis (Prado and others, 2006).
  • C. salarius (Agulilera and others, 2007[2]).
  • C. salexigens (Arahal and others, 2001).
  • C. saracensis (Quillaguamán and others, 2004).
