    Notes:
    • ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
    • 😢 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. The expression "monophyletic clade" is a pleonasm. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

• Notes:
  • 🧕 Filippini et al. (2011) assigned this genus to the family Cytophagaceae Stanier 1940 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Filippini M, Kaech A, Ziegler U, Bagheri HC. Fibrisoma limi gen. nov., sp. nov., a filamentous bacterium isolated from tidal flats. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:1418-1424. 🇨🇭
  • 😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?
