Blastobacter

Blastobacter is a genus of bacteria from the family Nitrobacteraceae.^[3] Most of the species originally ascribed to Blastobacter have been transferred to other genera, with Blastobacter henricii as the only remaining valid species.^[4] To complicate matters, no type strain is available for Blastobacter henricii,^[4] so the entire genus may be dismantled.
