Note: Nedashkovskaya et al. 2007 propose to transfer ¤ Chimaereicella alkaliphila Tiago et al. 2006 (the type species of the genus Chimaereicella) to the genus ¤ Algoriphagus as ¤ Algoriphagus alkaliphilus (Tiago et al. 2006) Nedashkovskaya et al. 2007, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Chimaereicella to ¤ Algoriphagus.
