  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Plantomycetia".
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 111; LMG: 60; VKM: 38; CECT: 27; JCM: 26; KCTC: 21; ATCC: 16; NBRC: 15; CGMCC: 3; NCIMB: 1.
  • Nomenclatural type changed from Planctomycetales Schlesner and Stackebrandt 1987 based on new Rule 22. Publication: Oren A. Emendation of Rules 8, 15, 22, 25a, 30(3)(b), 30(4), 34a, and Appendix 7 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:6070.
  • The validation of Planctomycetia Ward 2010 was suggested by the LPSN maintainers. In the aftermath, child taxa previously assigned to the not validly published name "Planctomycetacia" (sic) could be assigned to Planctomycetia.
