Terrabacter terrigena Yoon et al. 2009 [1] | |
Terrabacter terrigena is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endospore-forming bacteria. [1] Cells are rod-shaped. It was initially isolated from soil from around a wastewater treatment plant in South Korea. The species was first described in 2009, and its name is derived from Latin terrigena (child of the earth, earth-born) referring to the isolation of the type strain from soil.
The optimum growth temperature for T. terrigena is 30 °C and can grow in the 10-37 °C range. The optimum pH is 6.5-7.0 and can grow in pH 5.0-8.5. [1]
Azotobacter salinestris is a Gram-negative, nitrogen-fixing bacterium; its specific name, salinestris, comes from the Latin words salinus meaning saline and estris which means "living in". It can be found living in soil or marine habitats as single cells or in chains of six to eight cells. This organism is motile at younger stages, but loses its flagella at older stages. This species is known for its potential use in bioremediation.
Roseomonas oryzae is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pale pink-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from rice paddy rhizosphere soil in Western Ghats, Kankumbi, India. The species name is derived from Latin oryzae.
Roseomonas rhizosphaerae is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from soil under long-term application of triazofos in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, China, and the species was first proposed in 2011. The species name refers to the rhizosphere from which it was first isolated.
Roseomonas vinacea is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, wine-red-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from a soil sample collected from the Tibetan Plateau, China, and the species was first proposed in 2008. The species name is derived from Latin vinacea, referring to the color that the bacterial colonies form.
Brachybacterium ginsengisoli is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, opaque bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. It was first isolated from soil in a ginseng field in Yeoncheon County, South Korea. The species was first described in 2014, and the name is derived from the Latin ginsengum (ginseng) and solum (soil).
Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The bacteria are acidophilic and produce endospores. It was first isolated from soil. The species was originally classified as Bacillus acidoterrestris in 1987, but further 16S rRNA studies found that the species belonged in the newly created genus Alicyclobacillus. The species name is derived from the Latin acidum (acid) and terrestris, referring to its acidophilic nature and that it was isolated from soil.
Tumebacillus ginsengisoli is a species of Gram positive, aerobic, bacterium. The cells are rod-shaped, non-motile, and form spores. It was first isolated from soil in a ginseng field in Pocheon, South Korea, and the species name is derived from the ginseng soil isolation location. T. ginsengisoli was the second species added to the genus Tumebacillus.
Alicyclobacillus hesperidum is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The bacteria are acidophilic and produced endospores. It was first isolated from solfataric soils in the Furnas, the Azores. The species was first described in 2000, and the name refers to the Hesperides, "mythological figures whom the Greeks believed to have lived at the Western edge of the Earth in a miraculous garden, which [the researchers] interpret as the Azores."
Alicyclobacillus sendaiensis is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The bacteria are acidophilic and produced endospores. It was first isolated from soil in Aoba-yama Park, Sendai, Japan. The species was first described in 2003, and the name refers to the city from which it was first isolated. It was found during a survey in search of bacteria that produce thermostable collagenase.
Pedococcus bigeumensis is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-endosporeforming bacterium. The species was initially isolated from soil on Bigeum Island, South Korea. The species was first described in 2013, and its name refers to the island from which it was first isolated.
Pedococcus cremeus is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-endosporeforming bacterium. The species was initially isolated from forest soil from the Changbai Mountains. The species was first described in 2011, and its name refers to the cream-colored colonies the species produces on R2A agar.
Pedococcus 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.
Pedococcus ginsenosidimutans is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-endosporeforming bacterium. The species was initially isolated from soil from a ginseng field from Paektu Mountain, Jinlin District, China. The species was first described in 2016, and its name refers to the species ability to convert ginsenoside.
Terrabacter is a genus of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-sporeforming bacteria. The genus name is derived from Latin terra (earth), referring to the type species' original isolation from soil. The genus was first proposed in 1989; however, the type species Terrabacter tumescens was originally described in 1934, and had previously been classified in the genera Corynebacterium, Arthrobacter, and Pimelobacter. Terrabacter species have been isolated from soil, air and stone.
Terrabacter aerolatus is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endospore-forming bacteria. Cells are either rods or coccoid. It was initially isolated from an air sample in Jeju Province, South Korea. The species was first described in 2007, and its name is derived from Latin aer (air) and latus (carried).
Terrabacter ginsenosidimutans is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endospore-forming bacteria. Cells are short rods. It was initially isolated from ginseng soil from a farm near Pocheon, South Korea. The species was first described in 2010, and its name refers the bacteria's ability to transform ginsenosides into rare gypenosides.
Terrabacter koreensis is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endospore-forming bacteria. Cells are rod-shaped. It was initially isolated from soil from a flowerbed in Bucheon, South Korea. The species was first described in 2014, and its name refers to its South Korean isolation location.
Terrabacter lapilli is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endospore-forming bacteria. Cells are short rods. It was initially isolated from a small stone from an agricultural field in Jeju Province, South Korea. The species was first described in 2008, and its name is derived from Latin lapilli.
Terrabacter terrae is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endospore-forming bacteria. Cells are long, irregular rods. It was initially isolated from soil mixed with Iberian pig hair from Spain. The species was first described in 2005, and its name is derived from terrae. The species was discovered during a survey for bacteria with keratinase activity. T. terrae was the second species added to the genus Terrabacter after the type species, T. tumescens, was added to the novel genus in 1989.
Knoellia locipacati is a species of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The bacteria are aerobic and mesophilic, and the cells can be irregular rods or coccoid. It was originally isolated from soil from the Korean Demilitarized Zone. The species name is derived from Latin locus and pacatus.
