Species The genus contains a single species, namely Achromatium oxaliferum (the type species of the genus); Latin oxalis from the Greek noun oxalis (ὀξαλίς), meaning sorrel, a toxic plant due to oxalic acid production; Latin v. fero, to carry; Neo-Latin neuter gender adjective oxaliferum, oxalate-containing.The etymology on the paper is listed to stem from the greek, which actually means "sour wine" and if that were the case it would be A. oxaloferum. for info on linking vowels see Bacterial taxonomy
