• Notes:
  • The type genus of this family has alternatively been placed in the family Veillonellaceae Rogosa 1971 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Ludwig W, Schleifer K-H, Whitman WB. Class I. Bacilli class nov. In: De Vos P, Garrity GM, Jones D, Krieg NR, Ludwig W, Rainey FA, K.-H.

  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Acidamniococcaceae".
  • Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Marchandin et al. (2010). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 8; CCUG: 2; JCM: 2; CIP: 2; ATCC: 2; CGMCC: 1; KCTC: 1.
