🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Desulfuromonadaceae corrig. Kuever et al. 2006.Publication:
Greene AC, Patel BK, Yacob S. Geoalkalibacter subterraneus sp. nov., an anaerobic Fe(III)- and Mn(IV)-reducing bacterium from a petroleum reservoir, and emended descriptions of the family Desulfuromonadaceae and the genus Geoalkalibacter. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2009; 59:781-785.
🚃 The type genus of this family has alternatively been placed in the family Geobacteraceae Holmes et al. 2004.Publication:
Zavarzina DG, Kolganova TV, Bulygina ES, Kostrikina NA, Turova TP, Zavarzin GA. [Geoalkalibacter ferrihydriticus gen. nov., sp. nov., the first alkaliphilic representative of the family Geobacteraceae, isolated from a soda lake]. Mikrobiologiia 2006; 75:775-785.
❗ Geoalkalibacteraceae 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).
