Acidothermus cellulolyticus is a species of gram-variable bacteria. It is the only member of the genus Acidothermus and the family Acidothermaceae. [4]
A. cellulolyticus was first isolated from acidic hot springs at Yellowstone National Park in 1987. [1]
The name Acidothermus derives from:
Latin adjective acidus, sour, acid;
Greek adjective thermos (θερμός), hot;
Neo-Latin
masculine gender noun Acidothermus, acid and hot (loving).
[5]
The specific epithet cellulolyticus derives from Neo-Latin noun cellulosum, cellulose; Neo-Latin masculine gender adjective lyticus (from Greek masculine gender adjective lutikos (λυτικός)), able to loose, able to dissolve; Neo-Latin masculine gender adjective cellulolyticus, cellulose-dissolving.)
