Jeotgalicoccus halophilus is a species of bacteria. [1]

Contents

It is one of the Phylum Firmicutes; and it is categorized as a Gram-positive bacteria. [2]

The species is halotolerant and it grows at NaCl content of 0.1 to 16% - its optimal values for growth are between 2 and 3%. [2]

The cells are coccoid.

Etymology

The genus name Jeotgalicoccus is derived from the Latin word "Jeotgalum" and refers to the locality of the first-described discovery, it was isolated from the Korean fish sauce Jeotgal. The species name refers to the halophile of the species. [1]

<i>Halothiobacillus</i> Genus of bacteria

Halothiobacillus is a genus in the Gammaproteobacteria. Both species are obligate aerobic bacteria; they require oxygen to grow. They are also halotolerant; they live in environments with high concentrations of salt or other solutes, but don't require them in order to grow.

Lactobacillaceae Family of bacteria

The Lactobacillaceae are a family of lactic acid bacteria. It is the only family in the Lactic acid bacteria which includes homofermentative and heterofermentative organisms; in the Lactobacillaceae, the pathway used for hexose fermentation is a genus-specific trait. Lactobacillaceae include the homofermentative lactobacilli Lactobacillus, Holzapfelia, Amylolactobacillus, Bombilactobacillus, Companilactobacillus, Lapidilactobacillus, Agrilactobacillus, Schleiferilactobacillus, Loigolactobacillus, Lacticaseibacillus, Latilactobacillus, Dellaglioa, Liquorilactobacillus, Ligilactobacillus and Lactiplantibacillus, the heterofermentative lactobacilli Furfurilactobacillus, Paucilactobacillus, Limosilactobacillus, Fructilactobacillus, Acetilactobacillus, Apilactobacillus, Levilactobacillus, Secundilactobacillus and Lentilactobacillus, which were previously classified in the genus Lactobacillus and the heterofermentative genera Convivina, Frucctobacillus, Leuconosto, Oenococcus and Weissella which were previously classified in the Leuconostocaceae.

Colletes halophilus, the sea aster mining bee, is a rare species of mining bee from the family Colletidae which is found around the margins of saltmarsh and other coastal habitats in south-eastern England and north-western Europe. It is threatened by rising sea levels and human development which reduce its food plant sea aster and destroy its nesting areas.
