• Notes:
  • 🧕 DiCenzo et al. (2024) assigned this genus to the family Methylopilaceae diCenzo et al. 2024. Publication: diCenzo GC, Yang Y, Young JPW, Kuzmanovic N. Refining the taxonomy of the order Hyphomicrobiales (Rhizobiales) based on whole genome comparisons of over 130 type strains. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6328.
  • 😢 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. 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?
