• Notes:
  • 🧕 Joung et al. (2015) assigned this genus to the family Cytophagaceae Stanier 1940 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Joung Y, Seo MA, Kang H, Kim H, Ahn TS, Cho JC, Joh K. Emticicia aquatica sp. nov., a species of the family Cytophagaceae isolated from fresh water. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:4358-4362.
  • 🧕 Lu et al. (2024) assigned this genus to the family Leadbetterellaceae Lu et al. 2024. Publication: Lu H, Chen L, Huang L. Arcicella gelida sp. nov. and Arcicella lustrica sp. nov., isolated from streams in China and re-examining the taxonomic status of all the genera within the families Spirosomataceae and Cytophagaceae.

  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Kang et al. (2016). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • 😢 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: KCTC: 7; JCM: 3; CECT: 2; CGMCC: 1; DSM: 1.
