Acidomonas is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).[1] The genus contains single species,[2] namely A. methanolica, formerly known as Acetobacter methanolicus[3]
Etymology
The name Acidomonas derives from:
Latin adjective acidus, sour, acid; Latin feminine gender noun monas (μονάς), nominally meaning "a unit", but in effect meaning a bacterium; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun acidomonas, acidophilic monad.[2]
The specific epithet methanolica derives from Neo-Latin neuter gender noun methanol, methanol; Latin suff. -icus -a -um, suffix used in adjectives with the sense of belonging to; Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective methanolica, relating to methanol.[2]
Members of the genus Acidomonas can be referred to as acidomonad (viz. Trivialisation of names).
