• Notes:
  • 🧕 Boone et al. (2001) assigned this genus to the family "Desulfohalobiaceae". Publication: Garrity GM, Holt JG. The Road Map to the Manual. In: Boone DR, Castenholz RW, Garrity GM (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, second edition, vol. 1 (The Archaea and the deeply branching and phototrophic Bacteria), Springer-Verlag, New York, 2001, p. 119-166. 🇺🇸
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Desulfovibrio Kluyver and van Niel 1936 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Loubinoux J, Valente FM, Pereira IA, Costa A, Grimont PA, Le Faou AE. Reclassification of the only species of the genus Desulfomonas, Desulfomonas pigra, as Desulfovibrio piger comb. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2002; 52:1305-1308. 🇫🇷
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Desuljkromonas"; "Desuljomonas"; "Desultomonas"; "Drzsulfomonas".
  • ❗ Desulfomonas 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: DSM: 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.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "DSMN" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
