Tamlana is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria).[1] Two species have been described so far: T. agarivorans and T. crocina.[2][3][4]
As all members of the Bacteroidota they are Gram negative.[3][4][5]'
They are non-flaggelate rod shaped, produced non-diffusible carotenoids (446 nm max abs, giving T. crocina its name) and use MK-6 as the respiratory quinone.
