'''''Terrabacter''''' is a genus of [Gram positive](/source/Gram_positive), strictly aerobic, non-sporeforming bacteria. The genus name is derived from Latin ''terra'' (earth), referring to the type species' original isolation from soil.<ref name="bergey">{{cite book |doi=10.1002/9781118960608.gbm00087|chapter=Terrabacter|title=Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria|pages=1–8|year=2015|last1=Stackebrandt|first1=Erko|isbn=9781118960608}}</ref> The genus was first proposed in 1989; however, the type species ''Terrabacter tumescens'' was originally described in 1934, and had previously been classified in the genera ''[Corynebacterium](/source/Corynebacterium)'', ''[Arthrobacter](/source/Arthrobacter)'', and ''[Pimelobacter](/source/Pimelobacter)''.<ref name="jensen">{{cite journal |last1=Jensen |first1=H.
