Pseudoalteromonas aurantia

Pseudoalteromonas aurantia is a biology 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 Pseudoalteromonas aurantia rather than just read about it. In short: Pseudoalteromonas aurantia is an antibacterial-producing marine bacterium commonly found in Mediterranean waters. In 1979, Gauthier and Breittmayer first named it Alteromonas aurantia to include it in the genus Alteromonas that was described seven years earlier, in 1972 by Baumann et al.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Pseudoalteromonas aurantia is an antibacterial-producing marine bacterium commonly found in Mediterranean waters. In 1979, Gauthier and Breittmayer first named it Alteromonas aurantia to include it in the genus Alteromonas that was described seven years earlier, in 1972 by Baumann et al. In 1995, Gauthier et al renamed Alteromonas aurantia to Pseudoalteromonas aurantia to include it in their proposed new genus, Pseudoalteromonas, which they recommended splitting from Alteromonas.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pseudoalteromonas aurantia

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pseudoalteromonas aurantia claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, 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 Pseudoalteromonas aurantia 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 Pseudoalteromonas aurantia 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 Pseudoalteromonas aurantia

In research
Pseudoalteromonas aurantia appears in biology 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 Pseudoalteromonas aurantia 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
Pseudoalteromonas aurantia is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Alteromonadales, Alteromonadales stubs, Bacteria described in 1995, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Pseudoalteromonas aurantia 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.
