Cystobacter is a genus in the phylum Proteobacteria (Bacteria).[1]
Etymology
The genus name stems from Greek noun κύστις (kustis), meaning "bladder" and Neolatin masculine noun bacter "rod" consequently the Neolatin masculine noun Cystobacter means bladder-forming rod.[2]
Species
The genus contains 8 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely[2]
- C. armeniaca ( Reichenbach 2007, sp. nov.; L. fem. n. armeniaca, an apricot-tree, intended to mean apricot-colored.)[3]
- C. badius ( Reichenbach 2007, sp. nov.; L. masc. adj. badius, chestnut brown.)[3]
- C. ferrugineus ( (Krzemieniewska and Krzemieniewski 1927) McCurdy 1970, species.; L. masc. adj. ferrugineus, of the color of iron-rust, dark-red.)[4]
- C. fuscus ( Schroeter 1886, species. (Type species of the genus).; L. masc. adj. fuscus, dark, swarthy, dusky, tawny.)[4]
- C. miniatus ( Reichenbach 2007, sp. nov.; L. masc. part. adj. miniatus, cinnabar-red.)[3]
- C. minus ( (Krzemieniewska and Krzemieniewski 1926) McCurdy 1970, species.; L. neut. adj. minus (comparative of parvus, small), smaller. The epithet minus is in the neuter gender, but the genus name Cystobacter is in the masculine gender! The correct epithet should be minor.)[4]
- C. velatus ( Reichenbach 2007, sp. nov.; L. part. adj. velatus, veiled, covered.)[3]
- C. violaceus ( (ex Kühlwein and Gallwitz 1958) Reichenbach 2007, nom. rev., comb. nov.; L. masc. adj. violaceus, violet colored.)[3]
