Aestuariimicrobium is a singleton genus in the phylum Actinobacteria (Bacteria), whose sole[1] member, namely Aestuariimicrobium kwangyangense, was isolated from a diesel contaminated coastal site. Like all Actinobacteria,[2] it is gram-positive and with a high CG content (69%). It is rod/coccoid shaped bacterium whose main quinone is menaquinone-7 (MK7).[3]
Etymology
The name Aestuariimicrobium derives from the Latin noun aestuarium, the part of the sea coast which, during the flood-tide, is overflowed, but at ebb-tide is left covered with mud or slime, a tidal flat; New Latin neuter gender noun microbium, microbe; New Latin neuter gender noun Aestuariimicrobium, a microbe isolated from tidal flat. The adjective kwangyangense, means of or pertaining to Kwangyang, Korea, from where the type strain was isolated.[3]
