  • Goodfellow and Williams (1983) assigned this genus to the uncategorized "Actinobacteria" Goodfellow and Williams 1983. Publication: Goodfellow M, Williams ST. Ecology of Actinomycetes. Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 1983; 37:189-216.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Aracanobacterium"; "Arcanabactcrium"; "Arcanbacterium"; "Arcanobacierium"; "Arcanobaclcrium"; "Arcanobactcrium"; "Arcanobactenum"; "Arcanobacteriium"; "Arcanobkerium"; "Arcanobucterium"; "Arcanohacterium"; "Arcarnobacterium"; "Archanobacterium"; "Arconobacterlum"; "Arcunobacterium"; "Areanobacterium". — This taxon name is occasionally used in plural form as: "Arcanobacteria".
  • Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Sammra et al. (2017), Hoyles et al. (2002). 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 BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 15; LMG: 9; CCUG: 8; CIP: 7; ATCC: 4; NCTC: 4; CCM: 2; JCM: 1; IFO: 1; NBRC: 1.
