Thalassobacillus devorans

Thalassobacillus devorans 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 Thalassobacillus devorans rather than just read about it. In short: Thalassobacillus devorans is a Gram-positive, oxidase positive, catalase negative, rod shaped moderately halophilic and phenol-degrading bacterium from the genus of Thalassobacillus which has been isolated from saline sals from Spain. Single colonies are small (pin headed) in size.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Thalassobacillus devorans is a Gram-positive, oxidase positive, catalase negative, rod shaped moderately halophilic and phenol-degrading bacterium from the genus of Thalassobacillus which has been isolated from saline sals from Spain. Single colonies are small (pin headed) in size. S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated and biochemically characterized Thalassobacillus devorans (strains WS8, WS24, WS31) from marine sponge (Haliclona rosea) of the Saint Martin's Island of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. They can hydrolyze gelatin, Tween 40, 60 and 80. They can produce acid from Glycerol, Galactose, D-Glucose, D-Fructose, D-Mannose, Mannitol, N-Acetylglucosamine, Amygdalin, Maltose, D-Melibiose, D-Trehalose, Glycogen, D-Turanose.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Thalassobacillus devorans

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Thalassobacillus devorans 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 Thalassobacillus devorans 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 Thalassobacillus devorans 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 Thalassobacillus devorans

In research: Thalassobacillus devorans 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 Thalassobacillus devorans 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: Thalassobacillus devorans is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bacillaceae, Bacillota stubs, Bacteria described in 2005, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Thalassobacillus devorans 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.
