• Notes:
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Pusillimonas Stolz et al. 2005. Publication: Srinivasan S, Kim MK, Sathiyaraj G, Kim YJ, Yang DC. Pusillimonas ginsengisoli sp. nov., isolated from soil of a ginseng field. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:1783-1787.
  • 😢 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 2; KCTC: 2; JCM: 2.
  • 🧍 The distinct name Mesopusillimonas from the same publication has a similar spelling. — 🧍 The distinct name Neopusillimonas from the same publication has a similar spelling.
