Roseomonas hibiscisoli

Roseomonas hibiscisoli is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacteria.

It was first isolated from the rhizosphere of a Hibiscus syriacus plant, and the new species was proposed in 2017.

The species name derives from the Hibiscus plant from which it was first isolated.

[1] Roseomonas rhizosphaerae was also previously isolated from the rhizosphere of a plant.

[2] The optimum growth temperature for R. hibiscisoli is 28 °C, but can grow in the 20-40 °C range.
