• Notes:
  • 🧕 Goodfellow and Williams (1983) assigned this genus to the uncategorized "Nocardioform" Goodfellow and Williams 1983. Publication: Goodfellow M, Williams ST. Ecology of actinomycetes. Annu Rev Microbiol 1983; 37:189-216.
  • 🚂 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. Transfer of Arthrobacter variabilis (Müller) to the genus Corynebacterium, as Corynebacterium variabilis comb. nov. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1987; 37:287-288.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Caseabacter"; "Caseobacier"; "Caseobucicr".
  • ❗ Caseobacter 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: ATCC: 1; CECT: 1; JCM: 1; NBRC: 1; IFO: 1; HAMBI: 1; CCM: 1; DSM: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "CEBT" 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.
