Proposed Taxon Etymology Description Parent Taxon Type Registry URL
Genus Magnetominusculus [Mag.ne.to.mi.nus'cu.lus] Gr. n. magnes, magnet; N.L. pref. magneto-, pertaining to a magnet; L. adj. masc. minusculus, rather less, rather small; N.L. masc. n. Magnetominusculus, a rather small magnetic organism
Magnetosome-bearing bacterium. The name reflects the characteristics of the organism, where "magneto" refers to its magnetic properties, specifically its ability to produce magnetosomes, and "minusculus" suggests its small size 
Magnetobacteriaceae Magnetominusculus dajiuhuensisTs seqco.de/i:42433
Species Magnetominusculus dajiuhuensisTs [da.ji.u.hu.en'sis] N.L. adj. masc. dajiuhuensis, named after Dajiuhu, the peatland in China where it was discovered
Magnetominusculus dajiuhuensis (Da.jiu.hu.en′sis. N.L. adj. dajiuhuensis, named after Dajiuhu, the peatland in China where it was discovered). The type species, dajiuhuensis, is named for its discovery location. The GenBank accession for the novel MAG is GCA_046044395.1, Biosample ID SAMN42912234, and BioProject ID PRJNA300727. Since we are using SeqCode, we propose the genus name Magnetominusculus without the Candidatus tag.
The genus was first identified from BioSample ID SAMN04229298 and BioProject ID PRJNA300727. It includes isolates GCA_015232615.1 and GCA_002753435.1.
The representative species for the genus, based on metagenomic identification, is proposed as Magnetominusculus dajiuhuensis
