Note: Park et al. 2013 propose to transfer ¤ Pontirhabdus pectinivorans Yi et al. 2011 (the type species of the genus Pontirhabdus) to the genus ¤ Algibacter as ¤ Algibacter pectinivorans (Yi et al. 2011) Park et al. 2013, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Pontirhabdus to ¤ Algibacter.
