==Description==
Members of the genus Halomonas can be referred to as halomonads (''viz.'' [[Bacterial taxonomy#Vernacular names|Trivialisation of names]]).

==Ecology==
==Pathogenic potential==
''Halomonas'' species have been found in a broad variety of saline environments, including estuaries, the ocean, and saline lakes.<ref name=Bergey/>
Certain species of Halomonas may display [[pathogen]]ic potential in humans. In one study,<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1097/MD.0b013e3181aede29 | pmid = 19593230 | volume=88 | issue=4 | title=Halomonas, a newly recognized human pathogen causing infections and contamination in a dialysis center: three new species | year=2009 | month=July | journal=Medicine (Baltimore) | pages=244–9}}</ref> three Halomonas species were isolated from two patients suffering [[bacteremia]] in a renal care center.

===[[Halomonas titanicae]]===
Many species of ''Halomonas'' have been described:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lpsn.dsmz.de/genus/halomonas |accessdate=8 December 2017 |title=''Halomonas'' |website=LPSN |author=Euzeby JP}}</ref>
In 2010, scientists looking at samples of [[rusticles]] from the [[Wreck of the Titanic|wreck of the Titanic]] have said that a recently discovered species of bacteria called ''Halomonas titanicae'' is consuming the metal on the ship itself, and as this bacteria feeds on the ship's iron, it causes high rates of deterioration. Scientists have estimated that it will be probably 15 or 20 years before the ''Titanic'' collapses to the ocean floor as a consequence of this new bacterium. Now, on the centenary of the sinking of the ''Titanic'', as this bacteria rapidly deteriorates ''Titanic'''s condition, experts are hurrying to preserve the site before the ship collapses, as has been noted. Dr Henrietta Mann, the discoverer of this bacterium, stated when looking at the rate of decay on the ''Titanic'' caused, ''In 1995, I was predicting that the ''Titanic'' had another 30 years, but I think it's deteriorating much faster than that now, and eventually there will be nothing but a rust stain.''

Halomonas is a genus of halophilic (salt-tolerating) bacteria. It grows over the range of 5 to 25% NaCl.[citation needed]

The type species of this genus is Halomonas elongata.[1]

Description[edit]

Members of Halomonas are Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria, generally 0.6-0.8 μm by 1.6-1.9 μm.[2] They move by using flagella. They grow in the presence of oxygen, although some have been reported to be able to grow without oxygen. When grown on an agar plate, they form white/yellow colonies that turn light brown over time.[2]

Ecology[edit]

Halomonas species have been found in a broad variety of saline environments, including estuaries, the ocean, and saline lakes.[2]

Species[edit]

Many species of Halomonas have been described:[3]

Pathogenic potential[edit]

Certain species of Halomonas may display pathogenic potential in humans. In one study, three species were isolated from two patients suffering bacteremia in a dialysis center. The study hypothesized that the bicarbonate used in the dialysis fluid may have been contaminated by the bacteria.[4]

Etymology[edit]

The name Halomonas derives from: Greek noun hals, halos (ἅλς, ἁλός), salt; and monas (μονάς), nominally meaning "a unit", but in effect meaning a bacterium; thus, salt (-tolerant) monad.[5]

Members of the genus Halomonas can be referred to as halomonads (see Trivialisation of names).
