Cryptosporangium is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Actinomycetota.[2]
Etymology
[edit]The name Cryptosporangium derives from:
Gr . adj . kruptos, hidden; Neo-Latin noun sporangium [from Greek noun spora (σπορά), a seed (and in biology a spore), and Greek noun angeion (Latin transliteration angium), vessel], sporangium; Neo-Latin neuter gender noun Cryptosporangium, an organism with sporangia (spore containing vessels) covered or hidden by mycelium.[2]
Phylogeny
[edit]The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[3]
