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 A diplococcus (plural diplococci) is a round bacterium (a coccus) that typically occurs in the form of two joined cells. Types Examples of gram-negative diplococci are '' Neisseria spp.'' and ''Moraxella catarrhalis.'' Examples of gram-posit ...), and typically do not have flagella.
