'''''Cystobacter''''' is a genus in the phylum Myxococcota (Bacteria).<ref>{{lpsn|classificationac.html|Classification of Genera AC}}</ref>

==Etymology== The genus name stems from Greek noun ''κύστις (kustis)'', meaning "bladder" and Neo-Latin masculine noun ''bacter'' "rod" consequently the Neo-Latin masculine noun ''Cystobacter'' means bladder-forming rod.<ref name=LPSN />

==Species== The genus contains 8 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely<ref name=LPSN/> * ''C. armeniaca'' <small>Reichenbach 2007</small> (L. fem. n.
