• 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: Kampfer P, Denner EB, Meyer S, Moore ER, Busse HJ. Classification of "Pseudomonas azotocolligans" Anderson 1955, 132, in the genus Sphingomonas as Sphingomonas trueperi sp. nov. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1997; 47:577-583. 🇦🇹
  • ❗ Alteristakelama 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: DSM: 11; NBRC: 8; JCM: 7; CIP: 6; KCTC: 5; KACC: 4; CCTCC: 4; LMG: 4; CGMCC: 3; ATCC: 2.
