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 . [1]

Lagoon A shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by barrier islands or reefs

A lagoon is a shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by barrier islands or reefs. Lagoons are commonly divided into coastal lagoons and atoll lagoons. They have also been identified as occurring on mixed-sand and gravel coastlines. There is an overlap between bodies of water classified as coastal lagoons and bodies of water classified as estuaries. Lagoons are common coastal features around many parts of the world.

North Carolina State University public research university in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

North Carolina State University is a public research university in Raleigh, North Carolina. It is part of the University of North Carolina system and is a land-, sea-, and space-grant institution. The university forms one of the corners of the Research Triangle together with Duke University in Durham and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Latin Indo-European language of the Italic family

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 rubra was also first isolated during the same survey of lagoon sediments. [2]

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.

The optimum growth temperature for R. suffusca is 30–35 °C, but can grow in the 13–42 °C range. The optimum pH is 7.0–7.5, and can grow in pH 6.5–9.1.

pH measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution

In chemistry, pH is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. Acidic solutions have a lower pH, while basic solutions have a higher pH. At room temperature (25 °C), pure water is neither acidic nor basic and has a pH of 7.
