Lucifera is a genus of bacteria in the Sporomusaceae family.[1] Sanchez-Andrea et al. in 2018 described a novel species of a novel genus, for which they proposed the name Lucifera butyrica.[2]
Etymology
The name Lucifera, Latin for "Light-bringing", refers to the bacterium's shape which is like a match,[1] and the old term "Lucifer" for a match.
