Roseomonas hibiscisoli is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pink-colored bacteria. It was first isolated from the rhizosphere of a Hibiscus syriacus plant, and the new species was proposed in 2017. The species name derives from the Hibiscus plant from which it was first isolated.[1] Roseomonas rhizosphaerae was also previously isolated from the rhizosphere of a plant.[2]
The optimum growth temperature for R. hibiscisoli is 28 °C, but can grow in the 20-40 °C range. The optimum pH is 7.0, and can grow in pH 5.0-9.0.
