    Notes:
    • Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.

• Notes:
  • 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. The phrase "validly described" is misleading. 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.
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: LMG: 3; CCUG: 2; DSM: 2; CGMCC: 1.
