Tamlana is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidetes (Bacteria).[1] Two species have been described so far: T. agarivorans and T. crocina.[2][3][4]
As all members of the Bacteroidetes they are Gram negative.[3][4][5]'
They are non-flaggelate rod shaped, produced non-diffusible carotenoids (446 nm max abs, giving T. crocina its name) and use MK-6 as the respiratory quinone.
Etymology
The name Tamlana derives from:
- New Latin feminine gender noun Tamlana, named after Tamla, the old name for Jeju Island, referring to the region where the bacterium was isolated.[2]
The specific epithets of the species are
- T. agarivorans: New Latin noun agarum, agar, algal polysaccharide; Latin v. vorare, to devour, to digest; New Latin participle adjective agarivorans, agar-devouring.[3]
- T. crocina: Latin feminine gender adjective crocina, saffron-coloured.[4]
