• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Desulfofaba Knoblauch et al. 1999. Publication: Abildgaard L, Ramsing NB, Finster K. Characterization of the marine propionate-degrading, sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfofaba fastidiosa sp. nov. and reclassification of Desulfomusa hansenii as Desulfofaba hansenii comb. nov.

  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Abildgaard et al. (2004). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • ❗ Desulfomusa 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.
