The genera with the suffix are not a monophyletic group and the suffix is chosen over -bacter, often simply out of stylistic preferences to match with Greek words. The first genus to be given the suffix -monas was ''[Pseudomonas](/source/Pseudomonas)'', a [genus](/source/genus) of [gammaproteobacteria](/source/gammaproteobacteria). The generic epithet ''Pseudomonas'' was coined by [Walter Migula](/source/Walter_Migula) in 1894, who did not give an etymology.Migula, W. (1894) Über ein neues System der Bakterien. Arb Bakteriol Inst Karlsruhe 1: 235–328.Migula, W. (1900) System der Bakterien, Vol. 2. Jena, Germany: Gustav Fischer. Since the 7th edition of Bergey's manual (=top authority in bacterial nomenclature), other authors have given the etymology to be: [Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek) {{Transliteration|grc|pseudēs}} ({{lang|grc|ψευδής}}, false) and {{Transliteration|grc|monas}} ({{lang|grc|μονάς}}, single unit or monad), which can mean "false unit".{{lpsn|pseudomonas.html|Pseudomonas}} However, "false unit" conceptually does not make much sense, namely, it does not mean "an organism which may falsely appear as a single unit but it is not" as it is not found in multicellular chains nor was it ever described as such. One speculation is that the name was chosen simply out of aesthetics,{{Cite journal | last1 = Palleroni | first1 = N. J. | title = The Pseudomonas Story | journal = Environmental Microbiology | volume = 12 | issue = 6 | pages = 1377–1383 | year = 2010 | pmid = 20553550 | doi = 10.1111/j.1462-2920.2009.02041.x }} while the most plausible theory states that Migula intended it as false ''[Monas](/source/Monas_(genus))'', a nanoflagellate protist (''[Chrysophyceae](/source/Chrysophyceae)'': ''[Ochromonadales](/source/Ochromonadales)'': ''[Ochromonadaceae](/source/Ochromonadaceae)'': ''[Chrysomonadida](/source/Chrysomonadida)'': ''[Ochromonadidae](/source/Ochromonadidae)''). Subsequently, the term "monas" was used in the early history of microbiology to denote single-celled organisms. ==Grammar== {{main|Bacterial taxonomy}} In English to make a [vernacular name](/source/vernacular_name) for members of a genus, ''i.e.'' trivialising the scientific name, the scientific name is taken and written with sentence case and in roman type (i.e. "standard") as opposed to uppercase italic, the plurals are generally constructed by adding an "s", regardless of Greco-Roman grammar. In the case of genera ending in monas the ending is changed to monad with plural -monads.{{Cite journal | pmid = 13259458 | doi = 10.1146/annurev.mi.09.100155.000245 | last1 = Buchanan | first1 = R. E. | title = Taxonomy | journal = Annual Review of Microbiology | volume = 9 | pages = 1–20 | year = 1955 }} Example: a member of the genus ''Pseudomonas'' is a pseudomonad, while two are pseudomonads. The use of the stem for non-nominative cases is seen more often in botany, where trivialisation is more common, e.g. a bromeliad is a member of the genus ''[Bromelia](/source/Bromelia)''. ==Archaeal genera== {| class="wikitable" |- !
