Advenella
# Advenella

Advenella is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria). The two members of the genus Tetrathiobacter were transferred to this genus, namely Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis and Tetrathiobacter mimigardefordensis.

## Etymology

The name Advenella derives from: Latin advena, a stranger, a foreigner; and ella, a diminutive; Advenella, then, means the little stranger, referring to the fact that the source of these unusual organisms is unknown.

* A. faeciporci (Matsuoka et al. 2012)
* A. incenata (Coenye et al. 2005), type species
