Actibacter is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria).[1][2] The genus contains a single species, namely A. sediminis.[3]
A. sediminis, like other members of the phylum Bacteroidota, is Gram-negative and its major respiratory quinone is MK-6. Additionally, it grows aerobically and forms yellow-pigmented colonies which, however, do not contain Flexirubin-type pigments. This non-motile rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from tidal flat sediment of Dongmak on Ganghwa Island, South Korea.
