Cross Index Coprococcus
SuperSet Prokaryote, Eubacteria Gram Positive Cocci
Compare aerobes: Deinobacter grandis Deinococcus, Marinococcus, Micrococcus, Planococcus , Salinicoccus roseus

facultative anaerobes: Aerococcus viridans, Enterococcus, Gemella haemolysans, Lactococcus Leuconostoc, Melissococcus pluton, Pediococcus, Saccharococcus thermophilus, Staphylococcus, Stomatococcus mucilaginsos, Streptococcus, Trichococcus flocculiformis, Vagococcus

anaerobes Coprococcus, Peptococcus niger , Peptostreptococcus, Ruminococcus, Sarcina

Catalase positive:Deinococcus, Micrococcus, Planococcus, Staphylococcus,, Stomatococcus mucilaginsosus
Contrast Micrococcaceae are not a coherent group. Micrococcus is closely related to Arthrobacter , Planococcus is related to Bacilluss, while the radioresistant cocci called Deinococcus have atypical Gram positive cell walls.
