Aquaspirillum Bengal
''Aquaspirillum bengal'' is a Gram negative bacterium in the genus '' Aquaspirillum''. Description The species is helical in shape and moves in water through flagella. The cell is 0.9 to 1.2 μm in diameter and 5.2 to 22.0 μm in length.Ranajit Kumar, A. K. Banerjee, J. H. Bowdre, L. J. McElroy, and N. R.

LPSN
List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is an online database that maintains information on the naming and taxonomy of prokaryotes, following the taxonomy requirements and rulings of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. The database was curated from 1997 to June 2013 by Jean P. Euzéby. From July 2013 to January 2020, LPSN was curated by Aidan C. Parte. In February 2020, a new version of LPSN was published as a service of the Leibniz Institute DSMZ, thereby also integrating the Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date service.

Aquaspirillum
''Aquaspirillum'' (ak'wă-spī-ril'ŭm) is a genus of helical aerobic bacteria in the family ''Neisseriaceae'' that lives in freshwater. Taxonomy In 1832, the genus ''Spirillum'' was created and encompassed an array of helical bacteria. In 1957, the large genus was reviewed and narrowed to include 19 species based on morphology and a few other physiological characteristics. The genus ''Aquaspirillum'' was not created until 1973, when another review of ''Spirillum'' led to the division of the genus into ''Aquaspirillum'', ''Oceanospirillum'', and ''Spirillum''. Etymology The genus' name is a combination of several words. ''Aqua'' comes from Latin, meaning water; ''speîra'' comes from Greek, meaning a spiral; ''spirillum'' come from Neo-Latin, meaning a small spiral. Put together, the genus' name means "small water spiral." Species The new genus comprised the following 13 species when it was created: *'' Aquaspirillum anulus'' *'' Aquaspirillum aquaticum'' * ''Aquaspirill ...

Neisseriales
The Neisseriaceae are a family of Pseudomonadota, within the '' Neisseriales'' order. While many organisms in the family are mammalian commensals or part of the normal flora, the genus ''Neisseria'' includes two important human pathogens, specifically those responsible for gonorrhea (caused by'' N. gonorrhoeae'') and many cases of meningitis ("meningococcal meningitis", caused by'' N. meningitidis''). As a group, the Neisseriaceae are strictly aerobic and Gram-negative, occur mainly in pairs (diplococci), and typically do not have flagella A flagellum (; ) is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility. Many protists with flagella are termed as flagellates. A microorganism may have f ....
