Acidaminobacter is a genus in the phylum Firmicutes (Bacteria).[1]
Etymology
The name Acidaminobacter derives from:
New Latin noun acidum aminum, amino acid; New Latin masculine gender noun, a rodbacter, nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, a staff or rod; New Latin masculine gender noun Acidaminobacter, the amino acid rod.[2]
Species
The genus contains single species,[2] namely A. hydrogenoformans ( Stams and Hansen 1985, (Type species of the genus).; New Latin hydrogenum (from Greek noun húdōr (ὕδωρ), water; and Greek v. gennaō (γεννάω), to produce), hydrogen (that which produces water, so called because it forms water when exposed to oxygen); Latin participle adjective formans, forming; New Latin participle adjective hydrogenoformans, hydrogen-forming.)[3]
