Deefgea is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota.[1] Deefgea are described as Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobes which generally occur singly.[2] Deefgea are motile, either by a single flagellum or two polar flagella. They are both catalase and oxidase positive.[2]
Etymology
The name Deefgea derives from:
- Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Deefgea, arbitrary name derived from the acronym DFG for Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Science Foundation).[3]
The genus contains 2 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely[3]
- D. chitinilytica ( Chen et al. 2010, ; Neo-Latin noun chitinum, chitin; Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective lytica (from Greek feminine gender adjective lutikē), able to loosen, able to dissolve; Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective chitinilytica, chitin-dissolving.)[4]
- D. rivuli ( Stackebrandt et al. 2007, (Type species of the genus).;: Latin genitive case masculine gender noun rivuli, of/from a rivulet, a small brook.)[2]
