Taxonomy
The genus and type species were described by Stuart P. Donachie, John P. Bowman, and Maqsudul Alam in 2006.[4] The genus name is from Greek nesiotes 'of an island, insular', and bakterion 'rod', referring to the island, Laysan, on which it was isolated.[4] The specific epithet is from Latin exalbesco 'becoming white, growing white', in reference to the fading color of maturing colonies.[4]
