Alteromonas
''Alteromonas'' is a genus of Pseudomonadota found in sea water, either in the open ocean or in the coast. It is Gram-negative. Its cells are curved rods with a single polar flagellum. Etymology The etymology of the genus is Latin ''alter'' -''tera'' -''terum'', another, different; ''monas'' (μονάς), a noun with a special meaning in microbiology used to mean unicellular organism; to give ''Alteromonas'', another monad Members of the genus ''Alteromonas'' can be referred to as alteromonads (''viz.'' Trivialisation of names). Authority The genus was described by Baumann ''et al.'' in 1972, but was emended by Novick and Tyler 1985 to accommodate ''Alteromonas luteoviolacea'' (now ''Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea''), Gauthier et al. 1995, who split the genus in two (''Pseudoalteromonas'') and Van Trappen et al. in 2004 to accommodate ''Alteromonas stellipolaris''. Species The genus contains eight species (but 21 basonyms), namely * '' A. addita'' (Ivanova ''et al''. 2005, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alteromonas Macleodii
''Alteromonas macleodii'' is a species of widespread marine bacterium found in surface waters across temperate and tropical regions. First discovered in a survey of Aerobic organism, aerobic bacteria in 1972, ''A. macleodii'' has since been placed within the phylum Pseudomonadota and is recognised as a prominent component of surface waters between 0 and 50 metres. ''Alteromonas macleodii'' has a single circular Chromosome, DNA chromosome of 4.6 million base pairs. Variable regions in the genome of ''A. macleodii'' confer functional diversity to closely related strains and facilitate different lifestyles and strategies. Certain ''A. macleodii'' strains are currently being explored for their industrial uses, including in cosmetics, bioethanol production and rare earth mining. Morphology The species ''Alteromonas macleodii'' refers to an encapsulated Gram-negative bacteria, gram-negative heterotrophic Gammaproteobacteria, γ-proteobacterium. It is aerobic and motile, with a singul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
