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 (a site).^[1]

South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a country in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and lying to the east of the Asian mainland. The name Korea is derived from Goguryeo which was one of the great powers in East Asia during its time, ruling most of the Korean Peninsula, Manchuria, parts of the Russian Far East and Inner Mongolia, under Gwanggaeto the Great. South Korea lies in the north temperate zone and has a predominantly mountainous terrain. It comprises an estimated 51.4 million residents distributed over 100,363 km² (38,750 sq mi). Its capital and largest city is Seoul, with a population of around 10 million.

Latin is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. The Latin alphabet is derived from the Etruscan and Greek alphabets, and ultimately from the Phoenician alphabet.

Roseomonas wooponensis was also first isolated from the Woopo wetland.^[2]

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.

The optimum growth temperature for R. riguiloci is 25-30 °C, but can grow in the 15-40 °C range. The optimum pH is 7.0, and can grow in pH 5.0-11.0.

In chemistry, pH is a logarithmic scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is approximately the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the molar concentration, measured in units of moles per liter, of hydrogen ions. More precisely it is the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the activity of the hydrogen ion. At 25 °C, solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic. The neutral value of the pH depends on the temperature, being lower than 7 if the temperature increases. Pure water is neutral, pH 7 at (25 °C), being neither an acid nor a base. Contrary to popular belief, the pH value can be less than 0 or greater than 14 for very strong acids and bases respectively.
