Natronoflexus, bending/flexible cells living in soda. The genus Natronoflexus is a member of the family Marinilabiliaceae, order Bacteroidales, class Bacteroidia, and phylum Bacteroidota. It is an obligately anaerobic fermentative saccharolytic bacterium with the ability to utilize polygalacturonates and xylan as carbon and energy sources. The only species of the genus, N. pectinivorans, is a moderately salt-tolerant, chloride-independent obligate alkaliphile found in soda lakes in Central Asia. The DNA G+C content is 39.6mol% (genome). DNA G +C content (%): 39.6 (genome). Type species: Natronoflexus pectinivorans Sorokin et al. 2011, VL144.
