Alkalimonas is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).[1]
Etymology[edit]
The name Alkalimonas derives from:
- Neo-Latin noun alkali (from Arabic al-qaliy), ashes of salt wort; Greek feminine gender noun monas (μονάς), nominally meaning "a unit", but in effect meaning a bacterium; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Alkalimonas, alkaline monad.[2]
Members of the genus Alkalimonas can be referred to as alkalimonads (viz. Trivialisation of names).
Species[edit]
The genus contains 3 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely[2]
- A. amylolytica ( Ma et al. 2007, (Type species of the genus).;: Greek noun amulon, starch; Neo-Latin adjective lyticus -a -um (from Greek adjective lutikos (λυτικός) -ē -on), able to loose, able to dissolve; Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective amylolytica, starch dissolving.)[3]
- A. collagenimarina ( Kurata et al. 2007, ; Neo-Latin noun collagenum, collagen; Latin adjective marinus -a -um, of the sea, marine; Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective collagenimarina, collagenolytic bacterium isolated from the sea.)[4]
- A. delamerensis ( Ma et al. 2007, ;: Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective delamerensis, pertaining to Delamere estates, which include Lake Elmenteita (the source of the type strain), Kenya.)[3]
