  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Anaerobacuium"; "Anerobaculum".
  • 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • 😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M.

  • ❗ Anaerobaculum 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is -0.05201 (N = 1).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 3; ATCC: 2.
  • 😷 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".
