• Notes:
  • 🧕 Ding et al. (2019) assigned this genus to the family Comamonadaceae Willems et al. 1991. Publication: Ding YP, Khan IU, Li MM, Xian WD, Liu L, Zhou EM, Salam N, Li WJ. Calidifontimicrobium sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family Comamonadaceae. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2019; 69:434-440. 🇨🇳
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Azohydromonas Xie and Yokota 2005. Publication: Liu Y, Du J, Pei T, Du H, Feng GD, Zhu H. Genome-based taxonomic classification of the closest-to-Comamonadaceae group supports a new family Sphaerotilaceae fam. nov. and taxonomic revisions. Syst Appl Microbiol 2022; 45:126352. 🇨🇳
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Calidifontimirobium".
  • 😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. 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. 🇬🇧
  • ❗ Calidifontimicrobium 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: CGMCC: 1; SYSU: 1; KCTC: 1.
