Limosilactobacillus coleohominis

Limosilactobacillus coleohominis is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Limosilactobacillus coleohominis rather than just read about it. In short: Limosilactobacillus coleohominis is a species of Gram-positive, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family Lactobacillaceae. It was originally described as Lactobacillus coleohominis in 2001 based on isolates from the human vagina and cervix, and reassigned to the genus Limosilactobacillus during a major phylogenomic reclassification of the genus Lactobacillus in 2020.

Key takeaways

Limosilactobacillus coleohominis belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Limosilactobacillus coleohominis to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Limosilactobacillus coleohominis from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Limosilactobacillus coleohominis is a species of Gram-positive, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family Lactobacillaceae. It was originally described as Lactobacillus coleohominis in 2001 based on isolates from the human vagina and cervix, and reassigned to the genus Limosilactobacillus during a major phylogenomic reclassification of the genus Lactobacillus in 2020.

Ecology L. coleohominis was originally isolated from the vaginal tracts of healthy women as well as from urine and cervical samples, suggesting its role as a commensal in the human urogenital tract. The specific epithet "coleohominis" is derived from the Greek koleos (vagina) and Latin hominis (of humans), reflecting its host and site of origin. It has also been isolated from the cecal contents of pigs.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Limosilactobacillus coleohominis

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Limosilactobacillus coleohominis claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Limosilactobacillus coleohominis before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Limosilactobacillus coleohominis ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Limosilactobacillus coleohominis

In research: Limosilactobacillus coleohominis appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Limosilactobacillus coleohominis in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Limosilactobacillus coleohominis is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bacteria described in 2001, Gram-positive bacteria, Human microbiome, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Limosilactobacillus coleohominis outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
