Cryptosporangium is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Actinomycetota.[2]

Etymology

The name Cryptosporangium derives from:
Gr . adj . kruptos, hidden; Neo-Latin noun sporangium [from Greek noun spora (σπορά), a seed (and in biology a spore), and Greek noun angeion (Latin transliteration angium), vessel], sporangium; Neo-Latin neuter gender noun Cryptosporangium, an organism with sporangia (spore containing vessels) covered or hidden by mycelium.[2]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)[3]

16S rRNA based LTP_08_2023[4][5][6]	120 marker proteins based GTDB 08-RS214[7][8][9]

Species incertae sedis:

• C. aurantiacum (ex Ruan et al. 1976) Tamura and Hatano 2001 (Neo-Latin neuter gender adjective aurantiacum, orange-coloured.)
• C. arvum Tamura et al. 1998 (Latin noun arvum, arable field, cultivated land, pertaining to isolate from arable land.)
• C. japonicum Tamura et al. 1998 (Neo-Latin neuter gender adjective japonicum, pertaining to Japan where the organisms were isolated.)
• C. minutisporangium (Ruan et al. 1986) Tamura and Hatano 2001 (Latin adjective minutus, little, small, minute; Neo-Latin noun sporangium [from Greek noun spora (σπορά), a seed (and in biology a spore), and Greek noun angeion (Latin transliteration angium), vessel], sporangium; Neo-Latin noun minutisporangium (nominative in apposition), the small sporangium.)
