The bacterial genus Exiguobacterium accommodates many versatile species isolated from diverse
environments. Exiguobacterium was described as a genus approximately three decades ago, and
now, 17 species, growing over a broad range of temperatures and pH, have been recognized.
Various isolates from different niches have been explored for biotechnological and industrial purposes,
including enzyme production, bioremediation and degradation of toxic substances
released into the environment. Some isolates possess plant growth promoting capabilities, and
they are currently being explored for increasing agricultural production. The genome sequences
of various strains of this genus have shown the presence of many genes encoding products of
importance to agriculture and the environment. In addition, many strains possess stress-responsive
genes helping them to colonize and thrive in diverse ecological niches. This review provides
a broad view of the versatile genus Exiguobacterium and its potential for applications in agriculture,
the environment and industry, as well as the underlying genomic determinants that drive
its diversity and adaptability to various extreme environments.
