Proposal of Zooshikellaceae fam. nov. to accommodate the genera Zooshikella and Spartinivicinus and reclassification of Zooshikella marina as a later heterotypic synonym of Zooshikella ganghwensis based on whole genome sequence analysis.

    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 expression "monophyletic clade" is a pleonasm. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.
