Knoellia remsis (formerly Tetrasphaera remsis) a species of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The bacteria are aerobic and mesophilic, and the cells are coccoid that group in pairs, tetrads, or clusters. It was originally isolated from an air sample from the Regenerative Enclosed Life Support Module Simulator, which was a system designed to simulate life aboard the International Space Station. The species is named after REMS, the acronym for the Regenerative Enclosed Life Support Module Simulator. [1] The species was originally classified as Tetrasphaera remsis in 2007, but was reclassified into the genus Knoellia in 2018. [2]
The optimum growth temperature for K. remsis is 25 °C and can grow in the 10-45 °C range. The optimum pH is 7.0, and can grow in pH 6.0-9.0. [1]
Roseomonas aeriglobus is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacterium. The bacteria were first isolated from a laboratory air-conditioning system in South Korea, and proposed as a new species in 2017. Aeriglobus was chosen from the Latin aer (air) and globus, to reference the shape of the bacteria, and that they were found in an air-conditioning system. Another species of Roseomonas, R. aerofrigidensis, was also isolated from an air conditioner.
Roseomonas aerofrigidensis is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacterium. The bacteria was isolated first isolated from a laboratory air-conditioning system in South Korea, and the new species name was proposed in 2017. Another species of Roseomonas, R. aeriglobus, was also isolated from an air conditioner.
Janibacter is a genus of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The genus name is derived from the two-faced Roman god Janus, referring to the fact that the cells of the original strain could be rod-shaped or coccoid.
Alicyclobacillus aeris is a species of Gram positive/Gram variable, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The bacteria are acidophilic and produced endospores. It was first isolated from a copper mine in Inner Mongolia, China. The species was first described in 2009, and the name is derived from the Latin aeris.
Effusibacillus consociatus is a species of Gram positive, aerobic, bacterium. The cells are rod-shaped and form spores. It was first isolated from a blood sample from a 51-year-old woman, although it was not implicated as a pathogen. The species name is derived from Latin consociatus, to indicate that the bacteria was associated with a human clinical case.
Effusibacillus pohliae is a species of Gram positive, aerobic, thermophilic bacterium. The cells are rod-shaped and form spores. It was first isolated from Mount Melbourne, Antarctica. The species is named after the genus of Pohlia nutans, a species of moss that was colonizing the area where the type strain was isolated. E. pohliae has also been isolated from a geothermal heat pump in South Korea.
Alicyclobacillus sendaiensis is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The bacteria are acidophilic and produced endospores. It was first isolated from soil in Aoba-yama Park, Sendai, Japan. The species was first described in 2003, and the name refers to the city from which it was first isolated. It was found during a survey in search of bacteria that produce thermostable collagenase.
Kribbia dieselivorans is a species of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The bacteria are facultatively anaerobic and mesophilic, and the cells can be irregular rods or coccoid. It was originally isolated from tidal flat sediment collected from Kwangyang, South Korea during a survey for diesel-degrading bacteria. The species name refers to its ability to degrade diesel fuel. K. dieselivorans is the type species of genus Kribbia, and is currently the only species in the genus.
Terrabacter aeriphilus is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endosporeforming bacteria. Cells are either rods or coccoid. It was initially isolated from an air sample in Taean County, South Korea. The species was first described in 2010, and its name is derived from Latin aer (air), and Greek philos (loving).
Terrabacter aerolatus is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endosporeforming bacteria. Cells are either rods or coccoid. It was initially isolated from an air sample in Jeju Province, South Korea. The species was first described in 2007, and its name is derived from Latin aer (air) and latus (carried).
Terrabacter carboxydivorans is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endosporeforming bacteria. Cells are rod-shaped. It was initially isolated from roadside soil near Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea during a survey for bacteria with the ability to digest carbon monoxide. The species was first described in 2011, and its name is derived from Latin carboxydum (air) and vorans.
Fodinibacter luteus is a species of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The bacteria are strictly aerobic and mesophilic, and the cells are irregular rods. It was originally isolated from a salt mine in Yunnan, China. The species name is derived from luteus (yellow), referring the bacterial colony color on agar. F. luteus is the type species of genus Fodinibacter, and is currently the only species in the genus.
Knoellia is a genus of Gram positive, aerobic, non-endosporeforming bacteria. Species in this genus are mesophilic and have cells that are irregular rods or coccoid.
