Notes:
- Park et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Park S, Park JM, Kang CH, Yoon JH. Confluentimicrobium lipolyticum gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel lipolytic alphaproteobacterium isolated from the junction between the ocean and a freshwater spring, and emended description of Actibacterium mucosum Lucena et al. 2012. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2014; 106:969-977.
- For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Actibacterium Lucena et al. 2012. Publication: Hordt A, Lopez MG, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Schleuning M, Weinhold LM, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Kyrpides NC, Woyke T, Goker M. Analysis of 1,000+ Type-Strain Genomes Substantially Improves Taxonomic Classification of Alphaproteobacteria. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:468.
- This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Confluentimicro"; "Fluentimicrobium".
- Confluentimicrobium 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: KCTC: 2; CECT: 1; JCM: 1.
