Janibacter is a genus of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The genus name is derived from the two-faced Roman god Janus, referring to the fact that the cells of the original strain could be rod-shaped or coccoid.
The type species of the genus, Janibacter limosus, was originally isolated from sludge from a wastewater treatment plant.[1] Other species have been isolated from an air sample, a melon, the midgut of mosquitoes, coral, sea sediment, and hydrothermal sediment.[3] Janibacter brevis was originally classified as a separate species, but was later found to be a heterotypic synonym of J. terrae.[4][5]
Colonies formed on agar by members of this genus are usually cream, white, or yellow pigmented.[6][3] The optimum temperature for most Janibacter species is 28 °C. The lowest temperature required for growth in the genus is 4 °C (J. terrae, J. anophelis, J. limosus), and the highest is 45 °C (J. terrae, J. anophelis, J. corallicola). The pH optimum is commonly between 7.0 and 9.0, with some species capable of growing at 5.0-12.0. All species can tolerate NaCl salt concentrations up to 7%, but J. alkaliphilus can tolerate concentrations of 17%.[3] J. hoylei, which was recovered from high altitude air samples, is the most UV resistant.[7]
Janibacter species have been implicated in multiple cases of human infection, although most cases appeared to be opportunistic infections.[8] An unnamed Janibacter species caused an infection in a man with acute myeloid leukemia after receiving a bone marrow transplant.[9] J. melonis infected a man's face after being bitten by an unknown insect.[10] J. terrae infected four immunocompromised patients, resulting in two deaths,[11] and also caused a psoas abscess that was difficult to diagnose due to the infrequency of Janibacter infections.[12] An 8-week-old infant was found to be infected with J. hoylei, but was successfully treated with vancomycin.[8] "J. massiliensis" was isolated from the vaginal discharge of a woman with bacterial vaginosis.[13]
