Phycicoccus dokdonensis is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-endosporeforming bacterium. The species was initially isolated from soil from the Liancourt Rocks, South Korea. The species was first described in 2008, and its name refers to Korean name (Dokdo) for the disputed Liancourt Rocks. [1]

The optimum growth temperature for P. dokdonensis is 30 °C and can grow in the 10-36 °C range. The optimum pH is 6.5-7.5, and can grow in pH 5.0-8.5. [1]

Virgibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria and a member of the phylum Firmicutes. Virgibacillus species can be obligate aerobes, or facultative anaerobes and catalase enzyme positive. Under stressful environmental conditions, the bacteria can produce oval or ellipsoidal endospores in terminal, or sometimes subterminal, swollen sporangia. The genus was recently reclassified from the genus Bacillus in 1998 following an analysis of the species V. pantothenticus. Subsequently, a number of new species have been discovered or reclassified as Virgibacillus species.
