Roseomonas rubra

Roseomonas rubra is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, red-colored bacterium. It was first isolated from lagoon sediments located near North Carolina State University in 2015, and the species was first proposed in 2016. The species name comes from Latin rubra (red), referring to the color that the bacterial colonies form.[1]
