• Notes:
  • 🧕 Brenner et al. (2005) assigned this genus to the family Bradyrhizobiaceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Garrity GM, Bell JA, Lilburn T. Family VII. Bradyrhizobiaceae fam. nov. In: Brenner DJ, Krieg NR, Staley JT, Garrity GM (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, second edition, vol. 2 (The Proteobacteria) part C (The Alpha-, Beta-, Delta-, and Epsilonproteobacteria), Springer, New York, 2005, p. 438.
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Bradyrhizobium Jordan 1982. Publication: Ramirez-Bahena MH, Chahboune R, Peix A, Velazquez E.

  • 🧔 This taxon was discussed in a meeting of a Taxonomic Subcommittee of the ICSP. Publication: de Lajudie P, Martinez-Romero E. International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Agrobacterium and Rhizobium Minutes of the meeting, 7 September 2014, Tenerife, Spain.

  • ❗ Agromonas 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 BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 1; DSM: 1; ATCC: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "AGMN" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
