Agrococcus is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).[2]

Etymology

The name Agrococcus derives from:
Greek noun agros, field or soil; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun coccus (from Greek masculine gender noun kokkos, grain, seed), coccus; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun Agrococcus a coccus from soil.[3]

A group at the University of British Columbia completed the first draft genome of a bacterium from the genus Agrococcus, which was isolated from modern microbialites found within Pavilion Lake, BC.[4]

Species

The genus contains 9 species, namely[3]

  • A. baldri ( Zlamala et al. 2002, ; Neo-Latin genitive case noun baldri, of Baldr, ancient German god of light, referring to the photochromogenic behavior.)[5]
  • A. carbonis (Dhanjal et al. 2010, ; Latin genitive case noun carbonis of charcoal or coal; referring to the fact it was isolated from the soil of a coal mine.[6]
  • A. casei ( Bora et al. 2007, ;: Latin genitive case noun casei, of cheese, named because the organism was isolated from smear-ripened cheeses.)[7]
  • A. citreus ( Wieser et al. 1999, ; Latin masculine gender adjective citreus, of or pertaining to the citron-tree; intended to mean lemon-yellow, describing the lemon-yellow pigmentation.)[8]
  • A. jejuensis ( Lee 2008, ; Neo-Latin masculine gender adjective jejuensis, of or belonging to Jeju, Republic of Korea, where the type strain was isolated.)[9]
  • A. jenensis ( Groth et al. 1996, (Type species of the genus).; Neo-Latin masculine gender adjective jenensis, of or belonging to the Thuringian town Jena, where the organism was isolated.)[1]
  • A. lahaulensis ( Mayilraj et al. 2006, ; Neo-Latin masculine gender adjective lahaulensis, of or pertaining to Lahaul Valley, located in the Indian Himalayas, where the type strain was isolated.)[10]
  • A. pavilionensis (White III et al. 2018, ; Neo-Latin masculine gender adjective pavilionensis, of or pertaining to Pavilion Lake, located in Southeastern British Columbia, where the type strain was isolated.) [11]
  • A. terreus ( Zhang et al. 2010, ; Latin masculine gender adjective terreus, of earth.)[12]
  • A. versicolor ( Behrendt et al. 2008, ; Latin masculine gender adjective versicolor, colour changing.)[13]
