-bacter

Suffix used in microbiology thumb|Turicibacter Colony The suffix -bacter is used in microbiology for many genera and is intended to mean "bacteria". Meaning Bacter is a Neo-Latin (i.e. Modern Latin) term coined from bacterium, which in turn derives from the Greek βακτήριον, meaning small staff (diminutive of βακτηρία). Consequently, it formally means "rod". It differs from the suffix -bacterium in grammatical gender, as the suffix -bacter is male, whereas the suffix -bacterium) is neuter; this was decided in Juridical (or Judicial) Opinion n° 3 of the Bacteriological Code.10.1099/0096266X-1-2-36 vv.aa. Opinion No. 3.: The Gender of Generic Names Ending in -Bacter. International Bulletin of Bacteriological Nomenclature and Taxonomy April 1951 1 36–37 2 free Nevertheless, for historical reasons, two archaeal species finish in -bacter: Methanobrevibacter and Methanothermobacter. Usage Bacterial taxonomy Juridical Opinion n° 2 in the Bacteriological Code discusses the declension of the word, given that authors differently assumed the genitive case of bacter to be bactris (3rd declension words of Latin origin ending in =ter), bacteri (2nd declension) or bacteris (3rd declension, used for words of Greek origin, such as astris). The Opinion opts for the latter: consequently, higher taxa are formed with the stem =bacter- and not =bactrsimilar to bactra June 2025-. In Juridical Opinion n° 3 it was established to be masculine. 10.1099/0096266X-1-1-37 R. E. Buchanan R. S. Breed R. St. John-Brooks amp Opinion 2. The Combining Forms (Stems) of Compound Bacterial Generic Names Ending in Bacterium, -Bacter, or -Bactrum (Bactro: Approved by the Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Bacteriological Nomenclature) International Bulletin of Bacteriological Nomenclature and Taxonomy Jan 1951 1 37–38 1 free For example, Campylobacter is a genus of Campylobacterales. These rules were established so that the specific epithets were paired with the correct gender as imposed by the Bacteriological Code and the correct higher taxon names were formed. 21089234 Lapage S. Sneath P. Lessel E. Skerman V. Seeliger H. Clark W. International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria: Bacteriological Code, 1990 Revision 1992 ASM Press Washington, D.C. An interesting effect of this is that the genus Fibrobacter gives its name both to the phylum Fibrobacteres, which obeys Latin grammar, and to the class Fibrobacteria, which follows the recommendation of using the suffix -iaSTACKEBRANDT (E.), RAINEY (F.A.) and WARD-RAINEY (N.L.): Proposal for a new hierarchic classification system, Actinobacteria classis nov.
