- Alkalicoccus is a genus of Gram-Positive rod-shaped bacteria in the family Bacillaceae from the order Bacillales. The type species of this genus is Alkalicoccus saliphilus. Members of Alkalicoccus were previously species (except for the type species, Alkalicoccus saliphilus) belonging to Bacillus, a genus that has been recognized as displaying extensive polyphyly and phylogenetic heterogeneity due to the vague criteria (such as the ability to form endospores in the presence of oxygen) previously used to assign species to this clade. Multiple studies using comparative phylogenetic analyses have been published in an attempt to clarify the evolutionary relationships between Bacillus species, resulting in the establishment of numerous novel genera such as Alkalihalobacillus, Brevibacillus, Solibacillus, Alicyclobacillus, Virgibacillus and Evansella. In addition, the genus Bacillus has been restricted to only include species closely related to Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus. The name Alkalicoccus is derived from the prefix "-alkali" (from the Arabic article al, which translates to "the" and the Arabic noun galiy, referring to the ashes of saltwort) and the suffix "-coccus" (from the Latin coccus, referring to a sphere). Together, Alkalicoccus translates to a coccus living in basic surroundings. (en)
