Notes:
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Clostridium Prazmowski 1880 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Rainey FA, Hollen BJ, Small A. Genus I. Clostridium Prazmowski 1880, 23AL. In: de Vos P, Garrity GM, Jones D, Krieg NR, Ludwig W, Rainey FA, K.-H. S, Whitman WB (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd ed, vol. 3. The Firmicutes, Springer, New York, 2009, p. 738-828.
- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Anerobacter".
- ❗ Anaerobacter 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: VKM: 1; DSM: 1; JCM: 1.
- 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.

🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "ANBR" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer.
