  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Deinococcus Brooks and Murray 1981. Publication: Rainey FA, Nobre MF, Schumann P, Stackebrandt E, da Costa MS. Phylogenetic diversity of the deinococci as determined by 16S ribosomal DNA sequence comparison.

  • 🤨 This taxon name is occasionally used in plural form as: "Deinobacteria".
  • ❗ Deinobacter 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: HAMBI: 1; DSM: 1; NBRC: 1; JCM: 1; ATCC: 1; IAM: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "DNBT" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
