• Notes:
  • 🧕 Boone et al. (2001) assigned this genus to the family Syntrophomonadaceae Zhao et al. 1993. Publication: Garrity GM, Holt JG. The Road Map to the Manual.

  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Thermoanaerobacter Wiegel and Ljungdahl 1982. Publication: Collins MD, Lawson PA, Willems A, Cordoba JJ, Fernandez-Garayzabal J, Garcia P, Cai J, Hippe H, Farrow JA.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Acetigenium"; "Acetogenicum"; "Aeetogenium".
  • ❗ Acetogenium is the correct name instead 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.33928 (N = 1).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: ATCC: 1; DSM: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "ACGN" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
