Tamlana is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidetes (Bacteria).^[1] Two species have been described so far: and .^[2]^[3]^[4]

As all members of the Bacteroidetes 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.

Etymology[]

The name Tamlana derives from:

New Latin feminine gender noun Tamlana, named after Tamla, the old name for Jeju Island, referring to the region where the bacterium was isolated.^[2]

The specific epithets of the species are

T. agarivorans: New Latin noun agarum, agar, algal polysaccharide; Latin v. vorare, to devour, to digest; New Latin participle adjective agarivorans, agar-devouring.^[3]
T. crocina: Latin feminine gender adjective crocina, saffron-coloured.^[4]
