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. 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.
Roseomonas aerophila is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from an air sample in Taean County, South Korea, and the new species was proposed in 2013. The species name comes from Latin aer (air) and philos (loving). Another species of Roseomonas, R. aerilata, was also isolated from the air in a different region of South Korea.
Roseomonas arctica is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, psychrotrophic, light red-colored bacteria. It was first isolated from soil in the glacier foreland of Ny-Ålesund in Svalbard, Norway. The species name refers to the Arctic region from which it was first isolated.
Roseomonas arcticisoli is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, light red-colored bacteria. It was first isolated from tundra soil near Ny-Ålesund in Svalbard, Norway. The species name refers to the Arctic soil from which it was first isolated.
Roseomonas wooponensis is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, light red-colored bacteria. It was first isolated from freshwater in the Woopo wetland in Changyeong, Gyeongnam Province, South Korea, and the species was proposed in 2015. The species name refers to the Woopo wetland where the species was first isolated.
Roseomonas elaeocarpi is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from the leaf of an olive-like tree in the Ubon Ratchathani province, Thailand. The species name is derived from the genus of tree from which the species was first isolated.
Roseomonas hibiscisoli is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacteria. It was first isolated from the rhizosphere of a Hibiscus syriacus plant, and the new species was proposed in 2017. The species name derives from the Hibiscus plant from which it was first isolated. Roseomonas rhizosphaerae was also previously isolated from the rhizosphere of a plant.
Roseomonas lacus is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pale pink-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from a freshwater sediment from Lake Tai in Jiangsu province, China, and the species was first proposed in 2006. The species name comes from Latin lacus (lake).
Roseomonas ludipueritiae is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pale yellow-colored bacteria. It was first isolated from a children's day care center in 1995. Further work on the isolate led to the proposal of a new genus and species, Teichococcus ludipueritiae in 2003. Further work on T. ludipueritiae found that the species belonged in the genus Roseomonas, and also led to Muricoccus roseus being reclassified as Roseomonas rosea. The species name is derived from Latin ludus (garden) and pueritia (boyhood), referring to the kindergarten day care from which the species was first isolated.
Roseomonas riguiloci is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pinkish-red-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from freshwater from the Woopo wetland in Gyeongnam Province, South Korea and the species was first proposed in 2012. The species name is derived from Latin riguus (well-watered) and locus.
Roseomonas rubra is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, red-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from lagoon sediments located near North Carolina State University in 2015, and the species was first proposed in 2016. The species name comes from Latin rubra (red), referring to the color that the bacterial colonies form.
Roseomonas sediminicola is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pale red-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from sediment from a freshwater duck lake at the university KAIST in Daejeon, South Korea, and the species was first proposed in 2014. The species name is derived from Latin sedimen (sediment) and cola.
Roseomonas stagni is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from sediment from pond water in Shizuoka, Japan, and the species was first proposed in 2008. The species name is derived from Latin stagni.
Roseomonas suffusca is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, light brown-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from lagoon sediments located near North Carolina State University in 2015, and the species was first proposed in 2017. The species name comes from Latin suffusca (brownish), referring to the color that the bacterial colonies form, as opposed to the pink coloration of most members of the genus Roseomonas.
Roseomonas terrae is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pale yellow to pale pink-pigmented bacterium. It was first isolated from a soil sample collected from the island of Liancourt Rocks in South Korea. The new species name was first proposed in 2007 and derives from Latin terrae.
Roseomonas terricola is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-pigmented bacterium. It was first isolated from soil from farmland located in Yesan-gun in South Korea and the species was first proposed in 2017.
Roseomonas tokyonensis is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pale pink-pigmented bacterium. It was first isolated from a biofilm in a cooling tower in Tokyo, Japan in 2006. The new species name was first proposed in 2013, and is derived from Tokyo, the city from which the species was first isolated.
