Idiomarina loihiensis is a halophilic bacterium in the genus Idiomarina.[1] It is a rod shaped, gram-negative, aerobic cell with a single polar flagellum. The cells are typically 0.35 μm wide and 0.7–1.8 μm in length with optimum growth temperatures between 4–46 °C. It was isolated from a hydrothermal vent at 1,300m depth on the Kamaʻehuakanaloa (formerly Loihi) submarine volcano, Hawaii.[2]
