• Notes:
  • 🧒 Chuvochina et al. (2023) assigned the genus Leptospirillum (ex Markosyan 1972) Hippe 2000 to this class. Publication: Chuvochina M, Mussig AJ, Chaumeil PA, Skarshewski A, Rinke C, Parks DH, Hugenholtz P. Proposal of names for 329 higher rank taxa defined in the Genome Taxonomy Database under two prokaryotic codes. FEMS Microbiol Lett 2023; 0:0.
  • 🧒 Chuvochina et al. (2023) assigned the order Leptospirillales Chuvochina et al. 2024 to this class. Publication: Chuvochina M, Mussig AJ, Chaumeil PA, Skarshewski A, Rinke C, Parks DH, Hugenholtz P.

  • 🚃 The type genus of this class has alternatively been placed in the class "Nitrospiria" Oren et al. 2015. Publication: Cavalier-Smith T, Chao EE. Multidomain ribosomal protein trees and the planctobacterial origin of neomura (eukaryotes, archaebacteria). Protoplasma 2020; 257:621-753.
  • ❗ Leptospirillia is the correct name instead if this class is regarded as a separate class (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another class whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
