- ❗ Edaphosphingomonas 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: 3; CCUG: 2; CIP: 2; CCM: 1; MTCC: 1.
