• Notes:
  • 🧒 Du et al. (2014) assigned the genus Draconibacterium Du et al. 2014 to this family. Publication: Du ZJ, Wang Y, Dunlap C, Rooney AP, Chen GJ. Draconibacterium orientale gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from two distinct marine environments, and proposal of Draconibacteriaceae fam. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:1690-1696.
  • 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Prolixibacteraceae Huang et al. 2014. Publication: Iino T, Mori K, Itoh T, Kudo T, Suzuki K, Ohkuma M. Description of Mariniphaga anaerophila gen. nov., sp. nov., a facultatively aerobic marine bacterium isolated from tidal flat sediment, reclassification of the Draconibacteriaceae as a later heterotypic synonym of the Prolixibacteraceae and description of the family Marinifilaceae fam. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:3660-3667.
  • ❗ Draconibacteriaceae 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).
