Genus of bacteria
Terrabacter is a genus of
Gram positive , strictly aerobic, non-sporeforming bacteria. The genus name is derived from Latin terra (earth), referring to the type species' original isolation from soil.
[3] The genus was first proposed in 1989; however, the type species Terrabacter tumescens was originally described in 1934, and had previously been classified in the genera
Corynebacterium ,
Arthrobacter , and
Pimelobacter .
[4]
[5]
[6]
[1] Terrabacter species have been isolated from soil, air and stone.
