Roseivirga echinicomitans is a species of Gram-negative bacteria that belongs to the family Flammeovirgaceae. It is a strictly aerobic, heterotrophic, pink-pigmented, non-motile bacterium from the genus Roseivirga. It was first isolated from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius.[1][3][4][5]
R. echinicomitans is an aerobic bacterium that is capable of degrading a variety of organic compounds. Its cells are long, slender, and have a filamentous shape. The bacteria produce pink-pigmented colonies on marine agar.[5]
The ecology and role of R. echinicomitans in marine environments is not well understood, but it has been suggested that it may play a role in the decomposition of organic matter in marine sediments.[6]
The genome of R. echinicomitans has been sequenced and analyzed, providing insights into the bacterium's metabolism and adaptation to its environment.[6]
