• Notes:
  • 😢 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. The phrase "validly described" is misleading. 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: CECT: 2; DSM: 2.
  • 🤦 This taxon lacks a discernible description (protologue).
  • 🧍 Considered not validly published although included in a Validation List. The protologue only lists the etymology and the nomenclatural type but not the properties of the taxon (Rule 27).
