Advenella Explained

Advenella is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria). The two members of the genus Tetrathiobacter were transferred to this genus, namely Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis and Tetrathiobacter mimigardefordensis.

Etymology

The name Advenella derives from:
Latin advena, a stranger, a foreigner; and ella, a diminutive; Advenella, then, means the little stranger, referring to the fact that the source of these unusual organisms is unknown.

Species

The genus contains four species (including basonyms and synonyms):

• A. faeciporci (Matsuoka et al. 2012) ^[1]
• A. incenata (Coenye et al. 2005), type species ^[2]
• A. kashmirensis (Ghosh et al. 2005) ^[2]
