    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.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Ciyobacterium"; "Cryobacterim".
  • 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Liu et al. (2023), Liu et al. (2019). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • 🧬 The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.05989 (N = 7).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: CGMCC: 28; NBRC: 28; DSM: 8; JCM: 6; KCTC: 3; CCTCC: 2; VKM: 2; NEAU: 1; IAM: 1; ATCC: 1.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
