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]

gollark: * Divergent Naur form
gollark: They have some kind of convoluted lexer thing instead of my shiny 26 lines of parser combinators.
gollark: This is VERY convoluted.
gollark: Ask them to send me their interpreter so I can observe it.
