Thalassotalea

Thalassotalea 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 Thalassotalea rather than just read about it. In short: Thalassotalea is an aerobic and chemo-organo-heterotrophic genus of bacteria from the family Colwelliaceae which occur in the ocean and in sea ice.

Key takeaways

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

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Thalassotalea

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Thalassotalea 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 Thalassotalea 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 Thalassotalea 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 Thalassotalea

In research: Thalassotalea 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 Thalassotalea 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: Thalassotalea is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Alteromonadales, Alteromonadales stubs, Bacteria genera, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Thalassotalea 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is Thalassotalea in simple terms?

Thalassotalea is an aerobic and chemo-organo-heterotrophic genus of bacteria from the family Colwelliaceae which occur in the ocean and in sea ice. References Further reading Park, S; Jung, YT; Kang, CH; Park, JM; Yoon, JH (November 2014). "Thalassotalea ponticola sp. nov., isolated from seawater…

Why does Thalassotalea matter?

Because it connects several biology ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Thalassotalea?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
