Acetoanaerobium noterae is a bacterium from the family Peptostreptococcaceae. For some time, it was the only described species of the genus Acetoanaerobium. A. noterae is an anaerobic bacterium that produces acetate from H2 and CO2.[2]

Etymology

The name Acetoanaerobium derives from the Latin noun acetum, vinegar; Greek prefix an (ἄν), not; Greek noun aer, aeros (ἀήρ, ἀέρος), air; Greek noun bios (βίος), life; Neo-Latin neuter gender noun Acetoanaerobium, vinegar anaerobe. The species epithet noterae is the Neo-Latin genitive case noun noterae, of Notera; named for its source, the Notera oil exploration site in the Hula swamp area of Galilee, Israel.[1]
