• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Novosphingobium Takeuchi et al. 2001. Publication: Takeuchi M, Hamana K, Hiraishi A. Proposal of the genus Sphingomonas sensu stricto and three new genera, Sphingobium, Novosphingobium and Sphingopyxis, on the basis of phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analyses. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:1405-1417.
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Sheu et al. (2020). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • ❗ Alterinovosphingobium 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: LMG: 5; KCTC: 4; BCRC: 4; KACC: 3; JCM: 3; NBRC: 2; IFO: 1; ATCC: 1; DSM: 1; HAMBI: 1.
  • 🧍 The distinct name Agrinovosphingobium from the same publication has a similar spelling. — 🧍 The distinct name Flavinovosphingobium from the same publication has a similar spelling. — 🧍 The distinct name Paranovosphingobium from the same publication has a similar spelling.
