Agrococcus is a genus in the phylum Actinobacteria (Bacteria).[2]
Etymology
The name Agrococcus derives from:
Greek noun agros, field or soil; New Latin masculine gender noun coccus (from Greek masculine gender noun kokkos, grain, seed), coccus; New Latin masculine gender noun Agrococcus a coccus from soil.[3]
The first draft genome of the genus Agrococcus was completed by a group at the University of British Columbia that was isolated from modern microbialites found within Pavilion Lake, BC.[4]
Species
The genus contains 8 species, namely[3]
- A. baldri ( Zlamala et al. 2002, ; New Latin genitive case noun baldri, of Baldr, ancient German god of light, referring to the photochromogenic behavior.)[5]
- A. carbonis (Dhanjal et al. 2010, ; Latin genitive case noun carbonis of charcoal or coal; referring to the fact it was isolated from the soil of a coal mine.[6]
- A. casei ( Bora et al. 2007, ;: Latin genitive case noun casei, of cheese, named because the organism was isolated from smear-ripened cheeses.)[7]
- A. citreus ( Wieser et al. 1999, ; Latin masculine gender adjective citreus, of or pertaining to the citron-tree; intended to mean lemon-yellow, describing the lemon-yellow pigmentation.)[8]
- A. jejuensis ( Lee 2008, ; New Latin masculine gender adjective jejuensis, of or belonging to Jeju, Republic of Korea, where the type strain was isolated.)[9]
- A. jenensis ( Groth et al. 1996, (Type species of the genus).; New Latin masculine gender adjective jenensis, of or belonging to the Thuringian town Jena, where the organism was isolated.)[1]
- A. lahaulensis ( Mayilraj et al. 2006, ; New Latin masculine gender adjective lahaulensis, of or pertaining to Lahaul Valley, located in the Indian Himalayas, where the type strain was isolated.)[10]
- A. terreus ( Zhang et al. 2010, ; Latin masculine gender adjective terreus, of earth.)[11]
- A. versicolor ( Behrendt et al. 2008, ; Latin masculine gender adjective versicolor, colour changing.)[12]
