Alkalilimnicola is a genus in the phylum Proteobacteria (Bacteria).[1]
Etymology
The name Alkalilimnicola derives from:
- New Latin noun alkali (from Arabic al-qalyi, the ashes of saltwort), soda ash; Greek noun limnos, pool of standing water, lake; Latin suffix -cola (from Latin noun incola) a dweller, inhabitant; New Latin masculine gender noun Alcalilimnicola, a dweller of alkaline lakes.[2]
Species
The genus contains:[2]
- A. ehrlichii (Hoeft et al. 2007: Latin ehrlichii, of Ehrlich, named in honour of Professor Emeritus Henry Lutz Ehrlich for his broad scientific, teaching, and leadership contributions to the field of geomicrobiology, with specific reference to his work on the bacterial oxidation of arsenite.)[3] Among its other traits, A. erhlichii oxidizes carbon monoxide at ambient and subambient levels.[3]
- A. halodurans ( corrig. Yakimov et al. 2001, (type species of the genus): Greek hals, halos (ἅλς, ἁλός),salt; Latin durans, enduring; halodurans, salt-enduring)[4]
