    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:
  • Liu et al. (2011) assigned this genus to the family Rhodospirillaceae Pfennig and Trüper 1971 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Liu M, Dai J, Liu Y, Cai F, Wang Y, Rahman E, Fang C. Desertibacter roseus gen. nov., sp. nov., a gamma radiation-resistant bacterium in the family Rhodospirillaceae, isolated from desert sand. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:1109-1113.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Desertobacter".
