Proposed as: gen. nov., nom. rev.
Etymology: N.L. neut. n. cellum, cellulose, which is degraded by the organism [probably better: cellulosum]; from N.L. neut. n. cellulosum, cellulose; L. v. vibro, to set in tremulous motion, move to and fro, vibrate; N.L. masc. n. vibrio, that which vibrates, and also a bacterial genus name of bacteria possessing a curved rod shape (Vibrio); N.L. masc. n. Cellvibrio, cellulose (degrading) vibrio [probably better: Cellivibrio]
Gender: masculine (stem: Cellvibrion-)
Type species: Cellvibrio mixtus Blackall et al. 1986
