Cystobacter is a genus in the phylum Myxococcota (Bacteria). ^[2]

Etymology

The genus name stems from Greek noun κύστις (kustis) , meaning "bladder" and Neo-Latin masculine noun bacter "rod" consequently the Neo-Latin masculine noun Cystobacter means bladder-forming rod. ^[3]

Species

The genus contains 8 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely ^[3]

• C. armeniaca Reichenbach 2007 (L. fem. n. armeniaca, an apricot-tree, intended to mean apricot-colored.) ^[4]
• C. badius Reichenbach 2007 (L. masc. adj. badius, chestnut brown.) ^[4]
• C. ferrugineus (Krzemieniewska and Krzemieniewski 1927) McCurdy 1970 (L. masc. adj. ferrugineus, of the color of iron-rust, dark-red.) ^[1]
• C. fuscus Schroeter 1886 (L. masc. adj. fuscus, dark, swarthy, dusky, tawny.) ^[1]
• C. miniatus Reichenbach 2007 (L. masc. part. adj. miniatus, cinnabar-red.) ^[4]
• C. velatus Reichenbach 2007 (L. part. adj. velatus, veiled, covered.) ^[4]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[3] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). ^[5]
