Deferribacter is a genus in the phylum Deferribacterota (Bacteria).

Etymology

The name Deferribacter derives from:
Latin pref. de-, from; Latin noun ferrum, iron; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun, a rodbacter, nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, rod; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun Deferribacter, rod that reduces iron.

Species

The genus contains 4 species, namely

• D. abyssi Miroshnichenko et al. 2003; (Latin genitive case noun abyssi, of immense depths, living in the depths of the ocean.)^[1]
• D. autotrophicus Slobodkina et al. 2009; (Neo-Latin masculine gender adjective autotrophicus, autotrophic.)^[2]
• D. desulfuricans Takai et al. 2003; (Neo-Latin participle adjective desulfuricans, reducing sulfur.)^[3]
• D. thermophilus Greene et al. 1997 ((Type species of the genus).; Greek noun thermē (θέρμη), heat; Neo-Latin masculine gender adjective philus (from Greek masculine gender adjective φίλος), friend, loving; Neo-Latin masculine gender adjective thermophilus, heat loving.)^[4]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)^[5] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)^[6]
