  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Ferrivibrio".
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: LMG: 2; KCCM: 1; VKM: 1; NBRC: 1; KCTC: 1.
  • Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "FRVB" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
