Note: According to Vandamme and Coenye 2004, ¤ Wautersia eutropha (the type species of the genus Wautersia) is a later heterotypic synonym of ¤ Cupriavidus necator (the type species of the genus Cupriavidus). According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Wautersia to Cupriavidus.
