==''A. sediminis''== ''A. sediminis'', like other members of the phylum Bacteroidota, is Gram-negative and its major respiratory quinone is MK-6. Additionally, it grows aerobically and forms yellow-pigmented colonies which, however, do not contain Flexirubin-type pigments. This non-motile rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from tidal flat sediment of Dongmak on Ganghwa Island, South Korea.

==Etymology== The name ''Actibacter'' derives from:<br/>Latin noun ''acta'', seaside; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun, a rod''bacter'', nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, rod; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun ''Actibacter'', rod from the seaside.<ref name=main>[https://lpsn.dsmz.de/genus/actibacter bacterio.com]</ref>

While the epithet ''sediminis'' is from Latin genitive case noun ''sediminis'', of a sediment.<ref name=main/>
