List Of Bacterial Genera Named After Geographical Names
Several bacterial species are named after geographical locations. For the generic epithet, all names derived from people or places (unless in combination) must be in the female nominative case, either by changing the ending to -a or to the diminutive -ella, depending on the name.Help!

Gallaecimonas
''Gallaecimonas'' is a recently described genus of bacteria. The first described species of this genus was ''Gallaecimonas pentaromativorans'' gen. nov., sp. nov. isolated by RodrÃguez Blanco et al. in 2010 from intertidal sediments of the ria of Corcubión (Galicia, Spain). It is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, halotolerant bacteriumJ.P. Euzéby: List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in NomenclaturGenus Gallaecimonas/ref> in the class Gammaproteobacteria. It can degrade high molecular mass polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of 4 and 5 rings. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the type strain CEE_131(T) proved to be distantly related to those of '' Rheinheimera'' and '' Serratia''. Its G+C content was 41.7 mol%. This bacterial ability to degrade high mass polycyclic aromatic compounds is interesting because these compounds are common pollutants spilled in the environment by human activities and tend to accumulate and persist adsorbed to the organic fraction of sediments.

Sea Of Japan
The Sea of Japan is the marginal sea between the Japanese archipelago, Sakhalin, the Korean Peninsula, and the mainland of the Russian Far East. The Japanese archipelago separates the sea from the Pacific Ocean. Like the Mediterranean Sea, it has almost no tides due to its nearly complete enclosure from the Pacific Ocean. This isolation also affects faunal diversity and salinity, both of which are lower than in the open ocean. The sea has no large islands, bays or capes. Its water balance is mostly determined by the inflow and outflow through the straits connecting it to the neighboring seas and the Pacific Ocean. Few rivers discharge into the sea and their total contribution to the water exchange is within 1%. The seawater has an elevated concentration of dissolved oxygen that results in high biological productivity. Therefore, fishing is the dominant economic activity in the region. The intensity of shipments across the sea has been moderate owing to political issues, but it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dokdonia
''Dokdonia'' is a genus of bacteria in the family ''Flavobacteriaceae'' and phylum Bacteroidota. The genus ''Dokdonia'' was first described in 2005 by Yoon et al. near Liancourt Rocks in the Sea of Japan. ''Dokdonia'' is named after Dokdo, the Korean name for the Liancourt Rocks which lies between Japan and South Korea. Yoon et al. isolated the bacterium from seawater and identified the first species as '' Dokdonia donghaensis.'' There are 10 classified species (''D. aurantiaca, D. diaphoros, D. donghaensis, D. eikasta, D. flava, D. genika, D. lutea, D. pacifica, D. ponticola'', and ''D. sinensis'') and many unclassified strains under the ''Dokdonia'' genus based on the NCBI taxonomy database. The International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) currently recognizes nine groups of ''Dokdonia'' described to species level with ''D. ponticola'' considered not validly published. The general characteristics of ''Dokdonia'' species include gram-negative, non-motile, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liancourt Rocks
The Liancourt Rocks, also known by their Korean name of Dokdo or their Japanese name of Takeshima,; ; . form a group of islets in the Sea of Japan between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago. The Liancourt Rocks comprise two main islets and 35 smaller rocks; the total surface area of the islets is and the highest elevation of is on the West Islet. The Liancourt Rocks lie in rich fishing grounds that may contain large deposits of natural gas. The English name ''Liancourt Rocks'' is derived from , the name of a French whaling ship that came close to being wrecked on the rocks in 1849. While South Korea controls the islets, its sovereignty over them is contested by Japan. North Korea also claims the territory. South Korea classifies the islets as Dokdo- ri, Ulleung- eup, Ulleung County, North Gyeongsang Province, while Japan classifies the islands as part of Okinoshima, Oki District, Shimane Prefecture.

Delft
Delft () is a city and municipality in the province of South Holland, Netherlands. It is located between Rotterdam, to the southeast, and The Hague, to the northwest. Together with them, it is part of both the Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area and the Randstad. Delft is a popular tourist destination in the Netherlands, famous for its historical connections with the reigning House of Orange-Nassau, for its blue pottery, for being home to the painter Jan Vermeer, and for hosting Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). Historically, Delft played a highly influential role in the Dutch Golden Age. In terms of science and technology, thanks to the pioneering contributions of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and Martinus Beijerinck, Delft can be considered to be the birthplace of microbiology. History Early history The city of Delft came into being beside a canal, the 'Delf', which comes from the word ''delven'', meaning to delve or dig, and this led to the name Delft. At the ...
