Roseomonas terrae is a species of Gram negative, strictly aerobic, coccobacilli-shaped, pale yellow to pale pink-pigmented bacterium. It was first isolated from a soil sample collected from the island of Liancourt Rocks in South Korea. The new species name was first proposed in 2007 and derives from Latin terrae (of the soil).
