Blastobacter is a genus of bacteria from the family Nitrobacteraceae.[3] Most of the species originally ascribed to Blastobacter have been transferred to other genera, with Blastobacter henricii as the only remaining valid species.[4] To complicate matters, no type strain is available for Blastobacter henricii,[4] so the entire genus may be dismantled.
