Etymology
The name Alkalimonas derives from:
- New Latin noun alkali (from Arabic al-qaliy), ashes of salt wort; Greek feminine gender noun monas (μονάς / μονάδα), nominally meaning "a unit", but in effect meaning a bacterium; New Latin feminine gender noun Alkalimonas, alkaline monad.[2]
Members of the genus Alkalimonas can be referred to as alkalimonads (viz. Trivialisation of names).
