Phycicoccus aerophilus is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-endosporeforming bacterium. The species was initially isolated from air sampled in Taean County, South Korea . The species was first described in 2008, and its name is derived from Greek aer (air) and philos (loving), referring to its initial isolation from an air sample.[1]

The optimum growth temperature for P. aerophilus is 30 °C and can grow in the 5-37 °C range. The optimum pH is 6.0-7.0, and can grow in pH 5.0-9.0.[1]
