• Emendations:
  • Yokota et al. 1993 Yokota A, Takeuchi M, Sakane T, Weiss N. Proposal of six new species in the genus Aureobacterium and transfer of Flavobacterium esteraromaticum Omelianski to the genus Aureobacterium as Aureobacterium esteraromaticum comb. nov. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1993; 43:555-564. Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 43, part 3 of the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1993; 43:866.
    Notes:
    • Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 7 new species in the genus.

• Notes:
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Microbacterium Orla-Jensen 1919 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Takeuchi M, Hatano K. Union of the genera Microbacterium Orla-Jensen and Aureobacterium Collins et al. in a redefined genus Microbacterium. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1998; 48:739-747.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Aurcobacterium"; "Aureobacaterium"; "Aureobacierium"; "Aureobactcr"; "Aureobactcrium"; "Aureobucterium".
  • This taxon name is occasionally used in plural form as: "Aureobacteria".
  • Aureobacterium is the correct name 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: DSM: 14; JCM: 13; NBRC: 12; ATCC: 12; IFO: 11; CIP: 11; LMG: 11; VKM: 10; CCUG: 5; NCIMB: 4.
  • Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "AUBT" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
