Sphingomonas Yabuuchi et al. 1990, gen. nov. (Type genus of the order ¤ Sphingomonadales Yabuuchi and Kosako 2006; type genus of the family ¤ Sphingomonadaceae Kosako et al. 2000).
Type species: ¤ Sphingomonas paucimobilis (Holmes et al. 1977) Yabuuchi et al. 1990.
Etymology: N.L. n. sphingosinum (from Gr. gen. n. sphingos, of sphinx, and suff.-ine), sphingosine; N.L. pref. sphingo-, pertaining to sphingosine; L. fem. n. monas, unit, monad; N.L. fem. n. Sphingomonas, a sphingosine-containing monad.
Valid publication: Validation List no. 34. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 1990, 40, 320-321.
Effective publication: YABUUCHI (E.), YANO (I.), OYAIZU (H.), HASHIMOTO (Y.), EZAKI (T.) and YAMAMOTO (H.): Proposals of Sphingomonas paucimobilis gen. nov. and comb. nov., Sphingomonas parapaucimobilis sp. nov., Sphingomonas yanoikuyae sp. nov., Sphingomonas adhaesiva sp. nov., Sphingomonas capsulata comb. nov., and two genospecies of the genus Sphingomonas.

Note: Comparative analysis of 16s rDNA sequences suggests that the genus Sphingomonas Yabuuchi et al. 1990 is synonymous with Rhizomonas van Bruggen et al. 1990. If so, Rhizomonas has nomenclatural priority [Rule 24b (2)]. However, the name Rhizomonas is illegitimate (see: ¤ Rhizomonas van Bruggen et al. 1990).

Note: On the basis of phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequences and polyamine profiles, Takeuchi et al. 2001 [1] proposed that the genus Sphingomonas be classified into four genera Sphingomonas Yabuuchi et al. 1990 emend. Takeuchi et al. 2001, ¤ Novosphingobium Takeuchi et al. 2001, ¤ Sphingobium Takeuchi et al. 2001 and ¤ Sphingopyxis Takeuchi et al. 2001. Yabuuchi et al. 2002 [2] found that there is no phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence to support a proposal to split the species into four genera. These authors concluded that the genus Sphingomonas should remain undivided at this time and that the species of genera ¤ Novosphingobium, ¤ Sphingobium and ¤ Sphingopyxis, in conjunction with ¤ Blastomonas ursincola (Yurkov et al. 1997) Hiraishi et al. 2000, should be treated as species of the genus Sphingomonas.

2 The basonym ¤ Rhizomonas suberifaciens van Bruggen et al. 1990 is illegitimate because it is placed in an illegitimate genus (see: ¤ Rhizomonas). However, according to Rule 32b, the specific epithet (suberifaciens) is not rendered illegitimate. So, the combination Sphingomonas suberifaciens is a correct name and must be used because it is the single legitimate, validly published name.
