Blastobacter is a genus of bacteria from the family Nitrobacteraceae. [3] Most of the species originally ascribed to Blastobacter have been transferred to other genera, with Blastobacter henricii as the only remaining valid species. [4] To complicate matters, no type strain is available for Blastobacter henricii, [4] so the entire genus may be dismantled.
