Fodinibacter is a genus of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria.[1][2] The bacteria are strictly aerobic and mesophilic. Cells of the genus are irregular rods and grow very poorly in the absence of NaCl. The genus name is derived from the Latin fodina (mine), referring to the salt mine from which the type of species was isolated.[citation needed]

The type species of the genus, Fodinibacter luteus, was originally isolated from a salt mine in Yunnan, China .
