In taxonomy, Ruegeria is a genus of the Rhodobacteraceae.[1] This genus was formerly known as the marine Agrobacterium before they were reclassified in 1998. It bears in fact the name of Hans-Jürgen Rüger, a German microbiologist, for his contribution to the taxonomy of marine species of Agrobacterium.[2]
