Vampirovibrio chlorellavorus is a 0.6 μm pleomorphic coccus with a gram negative cell wall,[5] and is one of the few known predatory bacteria.[6] Unlike many bacteria, V. chlorellavorus is an obligate parasite, attaching to the cell wall of green algae of the genus Chlorella.[7] The name Vampirovibrio originates from the Serbian vampir (Cyrillic: вампир).[8][9][10][11] meaning vampire (due to the nature of sucking out cellular contents of its prey)[6] and vibrio referring to the bacterial genus of curved rod bacterium. Chlorellavorus is named for the algal host of the bacterium (Chlorella) and the Latin voro meaning "to devour" (Chlorella-devouring).[12]
