As all members of the Bacteroidota 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
editThe name Tamlana derives from:
- Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Tamlana, named after Tamla, the old name for Jeju Island, referring to the region where the bacterium was isolated.[2]
