Roseomonas tokyonensis

Roseomonas tokyonensis is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pale pink-pigmented bacterium. It was first isolated from a biofilm in a cooling tower in Tokyo, Japan in 2006. The new specie's name was first proposed in 2013, and is derived from Tokyo, the city in which the species was first isolated.
