Salinicoccus kunmingensis

Salinicoccus kunmingensis 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 Salinicoccus kunmingensis rather than just read about it. In short: Salinicoccus kunmingensis is a standard gram-positive bacteria in the genus Salinicoccus and Staphylococcaceae family. It is moderately halophilic growing in 0.5-25% NaCl solution, with an optimum at 8-10% NaCl solution.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Salinicoccus kunmingensis is a standard gram-positive bacteria in the genus Salinicoccus and Staphylococcaceae family. It is moderately halophilic growing in 0.5-25% NaCl solution, with an optimum at 8-10% NaCl solution.

Genome Salinincoccus kunmingensis is partially sequenced and is available at GenBank (accession DQ837380) for YIM Y15 Strain. Has an estimated 1493 base pairs with Guanine and Cytosine content only 46.2%.

Strain YIM Y15 Salinicoccus kunmingensis strain YIM Y15 was first isolated from a salt mine in Yunnan China. It is approximately 0.8–1.2 mm in diameter, with circular shapes in appearance and yellow pigmented in color. It is strictly aerobic, with predominant respiratory quinone MK-6 and minimal amounts of MK-7(1.2%). Only moderately halophilic with a growth rate of 0.5%-25% (w/v) NaCl but only occurring with temperature within 4-45°C. Major cellular fatty acids are anteios-C15:0(28.4%) and iso-C15:0(23.1). These differences together results in the ability of hydrolyse aesculin, Tween80, and acid production from D-fructose, D-mannitol and sucrose.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Salinicoccus kunmingensis

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Salinicoccus kunmingensis 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 Salinicoccus kunmingensis 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 Salinicoccus kunmingensis 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 Salinicoccus kunmingensis

In research: Salinicoccus kunmingensis 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 Salinicoccus kunmingensis 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: Salinicoccus kunmingensis is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bacteria described in 2007, Gram-positive bacteria, Halophiles, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Salinicoccus kunmingensis 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.
