- 🧍 Irregularly formed name. The expected name to be formed from Proteinivorax would be "Proteinivoracaceae" because the genitive of vorax is voracis. Publication: Oren A, Arahal DR, Christensen H, Goker M, Manaia CM, Moore ERB. International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Prokaryotic Code (2025 Revision).
