Thalassobacillus is a moderately halophilic genus that has been isolated from several sites worldwide, such as hypersaline lakes, saline soils, salt flats, and volcanic mud. Halophilic bacteria have provided functional stable biomolecules in harsh conditions for industrial purposes. Despite its potential biotechnological applications, Thalassobacillus has not been fully characterized yet. This review describes the Thalassobacillus genus, with the few species reported, pointing out its possible applications in enzymes (amylases, cellulases, xylanases, and others), biosurfactants, bioactive compounds, biofuels production, bioremediation, and plant growth promotion. The Thalassobacillus genus represents a little-explored biological resource but with a high potential.
嗜盐芽孢杆菌属是一个中度嗜盐菌属，已从全球多个地点分离出来，如超盐湖、盐土、盐沼和火山泥。嗜盐细菌在恶劣条件下提供了功能稳定的生物分子用于工业目的。尽管嗜盐芽孢杆菌属具有潜在的生物技术应用，但尚未得到充分表征。本综述描述了嗜盐芽孢杆菌属以及已报道的少数物种，指出了其在酶（淀粉酶、纤维素酶、木聚糖酶等）、生物表面活性剂、生物活性化合物、生物燃料生产、生物修复和促进植物生长方面的可能应用。嗜盐芽孢杆菌属是一种探索较少但潜力巨大的生物资源。
