Planococcus citreus is a lemon-yellow pigmented, Gram-positive coccus distinguished by its motility via peritrichous flagella, an unusual trait among cocci. It inhabits marine coastal environments and is commonly found in seawater and marine sediments. This aerobic bacterium obtains nutrients by decomposing organic matter in saline environments.
