Exiguobacterium aurantiacum is a Gram-positive, alkaliphilic, halotolerant and non-spore-forming bacterium that is the type species of the genus Exiguobacterium.[1][2][3] E. aurantiacum cells contain a bright orange carotenoid pigment that has been evaluated as a potential natural pigment source in industry.[4] E. aurantiacum has been associated with bacteremia in one case study after it was isolated from six human patients.[5]
