Acidocella is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).1 Its members are acidophilic.

Etymology

The name Acidocella derives from Neo-Latin acidum (from Latin acidus, sour), an acid; Latin cella, a store-room, a chamber and, in biology, a cell; giving Acidocella, an acid (-requiring) cell.2

Species

The genus contains:2

  • A. aluminiidurans Kimoto et al. 20103
  • A. aminolytica (Kishimoto et al. 1994) Kishimoto et al. 1996, , formerly a member of the genus Acidiphilium4
  • A. aromatica Jones et al. 20135
  • A. facilis (Wichlacz et al. 1986) Kishimoto et al. 1996, type species of the genus, formerly a member of the genus Acidiphilium4
