The name Acidisphaera derives from:
Neo-Latin noun acidum (from Latin adjective acidus, sour), an acid; Latin feminine gender noun sphaera, a ball, globe, sphere; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Acidisphaera, acid (-requiring) coccoid microorganism. [1]
While the specific epithet rubrifaciens comes from the Latin adjective ruber -bra -brum, red; Latin v. facio, to make; Neo-Latin participle adjective rubrifaciens, red-producing.) [1]
