Etymology
editThe 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]
