👉 Lysobacter is a genus of bacteria that primarily inhabit marine environments, particularly in the upper layers of seawater and within the digestive systems of certain marine animals. Lysobacteria have been identified as potential pathogens responsible for various diseases such as dysentery and salmonellosis. They are characterized by their ability to produce the bacteriophage lysosome, which can cause damage to host cells through phagocytosis or lysis.
