* "''Natronoanaerobium aggerbacterium''" refers to the isolate G-M16NWC-4.
It has been referenced for establishing taxonomy of sulfate-reducing bacteria.
* "''Natronoanaerobium halophilum''" refers to the isolate G-M14CH-4.
It has been referenced for establishing taxonomy of other samples from salt-rich environment.
* "''
Natronoanaerobium salstagnum''" refers to the isolate O-M12SP-2.
It has since been referenced in multiple publications to establish the taxonomy of uncultured isolates,
including other samples from high salt environments.
