| Genus Velaminicoccus | [Ve.la.mi.ni.coc'cus] L. neut. n. velamen, covering; Gr. masc. n. kokkos, grain, seed, berry, coccus; N.L. masc. n. Velaminicoccus, a coccus with a covering | Members of the genus “Ca. Velamenicoccus” are obligately anaerobic, chemoheterotrophic bacteria. The only representative so far is the species “Ca. Velamenicoccus archaeovorus,” a predatory bacterium. The genus “Ca. Velamenicoccus” belongs to a lineage within the candidate division OP3 or phylum “Candidatus Omnitrophica.”

| Species Velaminicoccus archaeovorusTs | [ar.chae.o.vo'rus] Gr. masc. adj. archaios, ancient; L. v. voro, to eat, to devour; N.L. masc. adj. archaeovorus, archaea (ancient microorganisms) devouring | The species is represented by the phylotype and strain LiM and its genome (GenBank number CP019384). The genome of 1.97 Mb has a GC content of 52.9%. OP3 LiM was highly enriched in a limonene-degrading methanogenic enrichment culture. Cells are coccoid. They are ultramicrobacteria 0.2 μm in diameter and occur free living and attached to other microorganisms. The bacterium is maintained in slowly growing Methanosaeta-rich methanogenic enrichment cultures in freshwater medium with low concentrations of limonene as the carbon source at 28°C. It can be visualized by the FISH probe OP3-565.
