Salinicola salarius

Salinicola salarius is a earth 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 Salinicola salarius rather than just read about it. In short: Salinicola salarius is a Gram-negative, moderately halophilic, piezophilic bacterium that requires pressures of 102 MPa to grow. The species was first isolated from a salt water sample from Anmyeondo, Korea and was formally described in 2007.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Salinicola salarius is a Gram-negative, moderately halophilic, piezophilic bacterium that requires pressures of 102 MPa to grow. The species was first isolated from a salt water sample from Anmyeondo, Korea and was formally described in 2007. S salarius cells are aerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods (0.8–0.9x1.3–1.7 μm) that form yellow, smooth, translucent, circular colonies with entire edges. The oxidase- and catalase-positive cells are motile and possess lateral/polar flagella. Growth occurs at 10–45 °C (optimally at 25–30 °C) and at pH 5–10 (optimum pH 7–8). The strain is able to grow at salinities between 0 and 25% NaCl (optimum 10–20% NaCl). S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated and identified salt tolerant Salinicola salarius from marine sponges (Niphates erecta, Hemimycale columella) of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.

Biochemical characteristics of Salinicola salarius Colony, morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of Salinicola salarius are shown in the Table below.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Salinicola salarius

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

In research: Salinicola salarius appears in earth 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 Salinicola salarius 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: Salinicola salarius is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Oceanospirillales, Oceanospirillales stubs, Piezophiles, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Salinicola salarius 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.
