Actibacter is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria). [1] [2] The genus contains a single species, namely A. sediminis . [3]

Contents

A. sediminis

A. sediminis, like other members of the phylum Bacteroidota, is Gram-negative and its major respiratory quinone is MK-6. Additionally, it grows aerobically and forms yellow-pigmented colonies which, however, do not contain Flexirubin-type pigments. This non-motile rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from tidal flat sediment of Dongmak on Ganghwa Island, South Korea.

Etymology

The name Actibacter derives from:
Latin noun acta, seaside; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun, a rod bacter , nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, rod; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun Actibacter, rod from the seaside. [3]

While the epithet sediminis is from Latin genitive case noun sediminis, of a sediment. [3]
