Notes:
- 😢 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. 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: JCM: 3; KCTC: 3; DSM: 1; LMG: 1; KACC: 1.
- 🧍 As judged from the etymology in the original publication, the genus name should have been Flaviaestuariibacter as opposed to Flaviaesturariibacter. However, Flaviaesturariibacter is used in the protologue, in the title of the publication, and in the notification list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 65, part 7 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2015; 65:3233-3234.
- 🧍 This name was subject to a Request for an Opinion. Publication: Oren A. Proposal to correct the generic name Flaviaesturariibacter Kang, Chun, Seo, Kim and Jahng 2015, 2212 to Flavaestuariibacter. Request for an Opinion. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:3686. 🇮🇱
