• Notes:
  • 🧕 Paramasivam et al. (2013) assigned this genus to the family "Kordiimonadaceae". Publication: Paramasivam N, Ben-Dov E, Arotsker L, Kushmaro A. Eilatimonas milleporae gen. nov., sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from the hydrocoral Millepora dichotoma. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2013; 63:1880-1884.
  • 🧕 Yilmaz et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the class Alphaproteobacteria Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Yilmaz P, Parfrey LW, Yarza P, Gerken J, Pruesse E, Quast C, Schweer T, Peplies J, Ludwig W, Glöckner FO. The SILVA and “all-species living tree project (LTP)” taxonomic frameworks. Nucleic Acids Research 2014; 42(D1):D643-D648.
  • 😢 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. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 1.
