• Emendations:
  • Humphry et al. 2003 Humphry DR, Black GW, Cummings SP. Reclassification of 'Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa' NCIMB 10462 (Ueda et al. 1952) as Cellvibrio japonicus sp. nov. and revival of Cellvibrio vulgaris sp. nov., nom. rev. and Cellvibrio fulvus sp. nov., nom. rev. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2003; 53:393-400. Euzeby JP. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 53, part 2 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2003; 53:939-940.
    Notes:
    • Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 3 new species in the genus.
    • 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.
