Blastobacter

Blastobacter is a genus of bacteria from the family of Bradyrhizobiaceae.[2] Most of the species originally ascribed to Blastobacter have been transferred to other genera, with only Blastobacter henricii remaining.[3] To complicate matters, no type strain is available for Blastobacter henricii,[3] so the entire genus may be dismantled.
