Flexithrix is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming and motile genus of bacteria from the family Flammeovirgaceae with one known species (Flexithrix dorotheae) which first has been isolated from marine mud.[2][3][4][1] Flammeovirga produce zeaxanthin, poly-β-D-glutamic acid and poly-β-L-glutamine.[4][5][6]
