Marinobacterium coralli is a Gram-negative and aerobic bacterium from the genus of Marinobacterium which has been isolated from the mucus of the coral Mussismilia hispida from the São Sebastião Channel in Brazil. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated, characterized and identified Marinobacterium coralli from marine sponges of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.
