This article coincides in timing and pattern with contributions by the same user which have been determined to be AI-generated, and has no significant contributions by other editors. It is presumed to have also been AI-generated, and may be assumed to violate Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If no editor takes responsibility for it within a five-day grace period, this article may be deleted. To object to proposed deletion, an editor may take responsibility for the content and assume the onus to achieve consensus for its inclusion. Assuming responsibility requires that all content and its sources be closely reviewed and reworked as needed to ensure that they comply with polices and guidelines. This may involve checking that the cited sources support the content and are reliable, determining whether the content is due for inclusion, and rewriting the content to revise any tone issues and resolve possible copyright violations. Once this has been done, this template may be removed. The nominator also gave the following reason for this proposed deletion:

Allocoprobacillus is a monotypic genus of Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria in the family Erysipelotrichaceae.[2] Its only recognized species and type species is Allocoprobacillus halotolerans.[1][3] The type strain, LH1062T (= DSM 114537T = NCTC 14686T), was isolated from a human fecal sample.[3]
Characteristics
[edit]The published phenotypic description is based on the single type strain. Cells are rod-shaped and occur in chains. The strain is catalase-negative and oxidase-negative, and it forms hemolytic colonies. Colonies grown on brain heart infusion agar for 48 hours are circular, smooth, shiny, and approximately 0.3–0.4 mm in diameter.[3][2]
It grows well at 30–40 °C and weakly at 45 °C. The strain tolerates media containing 1–20% sodium chloride, although growth is delayed at concentrations of 7–20%. The predominant cellular fatty acid is C16:0.[3]
The type strain has a genome of approximately 2.9 megabases (Mb) with a G+C content of 31.3 mol%.[3]
Taxonomy and name
[edit]The generic name combines the Greek words allos, meaning another or different, and kopros, meaning feces, with the Latin bacillus, meaning a small rod. The species epithet halotolerans means salt-tolerating.[1]
