• Notes:
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Corynebacterium Lehmann and Neumann 1896 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Collins MD. Reclassification of Bacterionema matruchotii (Mendel) in the genus Corynebacterium, as Corynebacterium matruchotii comb. nov. Zentralbl. Bakteriol. Parasitenkd. Infektionskr. Hyg. Abt. 1 Orig. 1982; C3:364-367.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Bacferionema"; "Bactenonema"; "Bacterionenza"; "Bacterionerna"; "Bacterionetna".
  • Bacterionema 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: CCUG: 2; NCTC: 1; ATCC: 1; DSM: 1; CIP: 1; IFO: 1; JCM: 1; NBRC: 1.
  • Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "BTNM" 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.
