Lapillicoccus jejuensis is a species of Gram positive, nonmotile, non-sporeforming bacteria. The bacteria are aerobic and mesophilic, and the cells are coccoid. The species was first described in 2007, and it was originally isolated a stone in Jeju, South Korea. The species name refers to the area (Jeju) from which it was first isolated.[1] L. jejuensis is the type species of genus Lapillicoccus, and is currently the only species in the genus.[2]
The optimum growth temperature for Lapillicoccus jejuensis is 30 °C and can grow in the 20-37 °C range. The optimum pH is 7.1, and can grow in the 4.1-11.1 range. Cells form bright yellow-pigmented colonies on agar.[1]
