• Notes:
  • 🧒 Chuvochina et al. (2023) assigned the genus Methanoculleus Maestrojuán et al. 1990 to this family. Publication: Chuvochina M, Mussig AJ, Chaumeil PA, Skarshewski A, Rinke C, Parks DH, Hugenholtz P. Proposal of names for 329 higher rank taxa defined in the Genome Taxonomy Database under two prokaryotic codes. FEMS Microbiol Lett 2023; 0:0.
  • 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Methanomicrobiaceae Balch and Wolfe 1981. Publication: Dianou D, Miyaki T, Asakawa S, Morii H, Nagaoka K, Oyaizu H, Matsumoto S. Methanoculleus chikugoensis sp. nov., a novel methanogenic archaeon isolated from paddy field soil in Japan, and DNA-DNA hybridization among Methanoculleus species. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:1663-1669.
  • ❗ Methanoculleaceae 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).
