• Notes:
  • Schouw et al. (2016) assigned this genus to the family Lachnospiraceae Rainey 2010. Publication: Schouw A, Leiknes Eide T, Stokke R, Birger Pedersen R, Helene Steen I, Bodtker G. Abyssivirga alkaniphila gen. nov., sp. nov., an alkane-degrading, anaerobic bacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent system, and emended descriptions of Natranaerovirga pectinivora and Natranaerovirga hydrolytica. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2016; 66:1724-1734.
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Vallitalea Lakhal et al. 2013. Publication: Lakhal R, Pradel N, Postec A, Hamdi M, Ollivier B, Godfroy A, Fardeau ML. Vallitalea guaymasensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2013; 63:3019-3023.
  • Abyssivirga is the correct name if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 1; JCM: 1.
  • According to Postec et al. (2017), Abyssivirga is a later heterotypic synonym of Vallitalea. Publication: Postec A, Ollivier B, Fardeau ML. Objection to the proposition of the new genus Abyssivirga. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:174.
