Acrocarpospora is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Actinomycetota. The major respiratory quinone is menaquinone MK-9(H(4)) and use madurose, an actinomycete whole-cell sugar. ^[3]

Etymology

The name Acrocarpospora derives from:
Greek adjective akros, uttermost, topmost, highest, at the top, end; Greek noun karpos, fruit; Greek feminine gender noun spora, a seed, and in biology a spore; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Acrocarpospora, an organism forming spores like fruits on the terminal mycelium. ^[1]

• A. corrugata (Williams and Sharples 1976) Tamura et al. 2000; Latin feminine gender participle adjective corrugata, ridged (spores).
• A. macrocephala Tamura et al. 2000; Greek adjective makrokephalos, long-headed; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun macrocephala, large head.
• A. pleiomorpha Tamura et al. 2000, (Type species of the genus).; Greek adjective pleios, full; Greek noun morphē, form, shape; Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective pleiomorpha, pleiomorphic, in various shapes.
