Abstract
Sa.li.ni.coc'cus. L. adj. salinus saline; Gr. n. kokkos a grain or berry; N.L. masc. n. Salinicoccus saline coccus. Firmicutes / “Bacilli” / Bacillales / “Staphylococcaceae” / Salinicoccus Gram‐stain‐positive spherical cells, 0.5–2.5 µm in diameter, occurring singly, in pairs, tetrads, or clumps. Nonmotile, nonspore‐forming . Colonies are round, smooth, and form pink‐red or orange, nondiffusible pigments. Strictly aerobic . Catalase‐ and oxidase‐positive. Moderately halophilic . Optimal NaCl concentration for growth is 4–10%; growth occurs in media with 0–25% NaCl. Temperature range for growth is 4–49°C; optimal temperature is 30–37°C. pH range for growth is 6–11.5; optimal pH is 7–9.5. The predominant lipoquinone is MK‐6. The cell wall contains murein of the L ‐Lys–Gly 5 type , which corresponds to the A3α type according to Schleifer and Kandler (1972). DNA G + C content ( mol %): 45.6–51.2. Type species : Salinicoccus roseus Ventosa, Márquez, Ruiz‐Berraquero and Kocur 1990b, 320 VP (Effective publication: Ventosa, Márquez, Ruiz‐Berraquero and Kocur 1990a, 32.).
