🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Spirochaetaceae Swellengrebel 1907 (Approved Lists 1980).
Publication:
Sravanthi T, Tushar L, Sasikala Ch, Ramana ChV. Alkalispirochaeta cellulosivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., a cellulose-hydrolysing, alkaliphilic, halotolerant bacterium isolated from the gut of a wood-eating cockroach (Cryptocercus punctulatus), and reclassification of four species of Spirochaeta as new combinations within Alkalispirochaeta gen. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2016; 66:1612-1619.
- ❗ Alkalispirochaetaceae is the correct name instead if this family is regarded as a separate family (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another family whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
