Emendations:
- Nedashkovskaya et al. 2006 Nedashkovskaya OI, Vancanneyt M, Christiaens L, Kalinovskaya NI, Mikhailov VV, Swings J. Aquimarina intermedia sp. nov., reclassification of Stanierella latercula (Lewin 1969) as Aquimarina latercula comb. nov. and Gaetbulimicrobium brevivitae Yoon et al. 2006 as Aquimarina brevivitae comb. nov. and emended description of the genus Aquimarina.

  Notes:
  - ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 3 new species in the genus.
  - 😢 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

Notes:
- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Aquimarnia"; "Auimarina".
- 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Moon et al. (2025), Nedashkovskaya et al. (2006), Yu et al. (2014), Park et al. (2013), Sun et al. (2021). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
- 😢 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281. 🇬🇧
- 🧬 The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.03763 (N = 5).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 18; KCTC: 14; DSM: 12; KACC: 10; MCCC: 10; LMG: 6; ATCC: 4; CGMCC: 3; NCIMB: 3; KMM: 3.
- 😷 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.
- 🧍 According to Rule 10a, Aquimarina is an adjective used as a substantive (N.L. fem. n.), not an adjective as cited in the paper by Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005. — The gender of the genus Aquimarina is not provided in the article by Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005. According to Rule 65(2) Aquimarina must be in the feminine gender. Publication: Oren A, Arahal DR, Christensen H, Goker M, Manaia CM, Moore ERB. International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.
