    Notes:
    • Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

• Notes:
  • The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Curtobacterium Yamada and Komagata 1972 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Inoue K, Komagata K. Taxonomic study on obligately psychrophilic bacteria isolated from Antarctica. J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol. 1976; 22:165-176.
