Etymology

The name Cryptanaerobacter derives from: Greek cryptos (κρυπτός), hidden; an (ἄν), not; aer, aeros (ἀήρ, ἀέρος), air; Neo-Latin, a rod bacter , nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, rod; giving Cryptanaerobacter, an anaerobic rod that is hidden within the consortium. [2]
