• Notes:
  • 🧒 Spring et al. (2022) assigned the genus Mucispirillum Robertson et al. 2005 to this family. Publication: Spring S, Rohde M, Bunk B, Sproer C, Will SE, Neumann-Schaal M. New insights into the energy metabolism and taxonomy of Deferribacteres revealed by the characterization of a new isolate from a hypersaline microbial mat. Environ Microbiol 2022; 24:2543-2575. 🇩🇪
  • 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Deferribacteraceae Huber and Stetter 2002. Publication: Robertson BR, O'Rourke JL, Neilan BA, Vandamme P, On SL, Fox JG, Lee A. Mucispirillum schaedleri gen. nov., sp. nov., a spiral-shaped bacterium colonizing the mucus layer of the gastrointestinal tract of laboratory rodents.

  • ❗ Mucispirillaceae 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).
