Janibacter corallicola is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The species was initially isolated from coral (Acropora gemmifera) in Palau in 2002.[1] The species was first described in 2007, and the species name refers to its original isolation from coral.[2]

The optimum growth temperature for J. corallicola is 23-36 °C, and can grow in the 16-38 °C range. The optimum pH is 6.0-8.0, and can grow in the 5.0-9.0 range.[2]
