• Emendations:
  • Zhang et al. 2001 Zhang Z, Kudo T, Nakajima Y, Wang Y. Clarification of the relationship between the members of the family Thermomonosporaceae on the basis of 16S rDNA, 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer and 23S rDNA sequences and chemotaxonomic analyses. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:373-383. Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 51, part 2 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:795-796.
    Notes:
    • Emendation accompanied by the inclusion of 2 genera in the family.
    • 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 usage of the term "coherent taxon" (or equivalent) is cautioned against. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.
    • In the paper by Zhang et al. 2001, the family Thermomonosporaceae is erroneously cited as Thermomonosporaceae Stackebrandt (sic) et al. 1997.
  • Zhi et al. 2009 Zhi XY, Li WJ, Stackebrandt E.
