• Notes:
  • Boone et al. (2001) assigned this genus to the family Myxococcaceae Jahn 1924 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Garrity GM, Holt JG. The Road Map to the Manual. In: Boone DR, Castenholz RW, Garrity GM (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, second edition, vol. 1 (The Archaea and the deeply branching and phototrophic Bacteria), Springer-Verlag, New York, 2001, p. 119-166.
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Archangium Jahn 1924 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Lang E, Schumann P, Tindall BJ, Mohr KI, Sproer C. Reclassification of Angiococcus disciformis, Cystobacter minus and Cystobacter violaceus as Archangium disciforme comb. nov., Archangium minus comb. nov. and Archangium violaceum comb. nov., unification of the families Archangiaceae and Cystobacteraceae, and emended descriptions of the families Myxococcaceae and Archangiaceae. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:4032-4042.
  • Angiococcus 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: ATCC: 1; DSM: 1.
  • Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "AOCO" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
