Notes:
-
🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Sphingomonas Yabuuchi et al. 1990.
Publication:
Takeuchi M, Sakane T, Yanagi M, Yamasato K, Hamana K, Yokota A. Taxonomic study of bacteria isolated from plants: proposal of Sphingomonas rosa sp. nov., Sphingomonas pruni sp. nov., Sphingomonas asaccharolytica sp. nov., and Sphingomonas mali sp. nov. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1995; 45:334-341.
- ❗ Alterisphingomonas 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: 4; JCM: 4; HAMBI: 3; NBRC: 3; IFO: 3; ATCC: 3; DSM: 3; KCTC: 2; NCIMB: 2; CGMCC: 1.
