Etymology
The name Acidomonas derives from:
Latin adjective acidus, sour, acid; Latin feminine gender noun monas (μονάς / μονάδα), nominally meaning "a unit", but in effect meaning a bacterium; New Latin feminine gender noun acidomonas, acidophilic monad.[2]
The specific epithet methanolica derives from New Latin neuter gender noun methanol, methanol; Latin suff. -icus -a -um, suffix used in adjectives with the sense of belonging to; New Latin feminine gender adjective methanolica, relating to methanol.[2]
