Roseomonas alkaliterrae is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacteria. It was first isolated from the soil around a geothermal hot spring in Tengchong, China. The species name refers to the alkaline soil from which the species was first isolated.

The optimum growth temperature for R. alkaliterrae is 40-50 °C, but can grow in the 5-50 °C range. The optimum pH is 8.0-10.0, and can grow in pH 6.0-11.0. [1]

Roseomonas is a genus of Gram negative bacteria. The cells are coccoid rods when viewed microscopically. Certain species are known to be opportunistic infections for humans.

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.
