• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Pseudomonas Migula 1894 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Kodama K, Kimura N, Komagata K. Two new species of Pseudomonas: P. oryzihabitans isolated from rice paddy and clinical specimens and P. luteola isolated from clinical specimens. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1985; 35:467-474. 🇯🇵
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Fkvimonas"; "Flavimona".
  • ❗ Flavimonas is the correct name instead if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 2; DSM: 1; IAM: 1; CCUG: 1; LMG: 1; CIP: 1; ATCC: 1; NBRC: 1; VTT: 1.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 2, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 2". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "FVMN" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
  • 🧍 The 16S rRNA sequence analysis of Flavimonas oryzihabitans (Kodama et al. 1985) Holmes et al. 1987 (the type species of the genus Flavimonas Holmes et al. 1987) suggests that Flavimonas Holmes et al. 1987 is a later heterotypic synonym of Pseudomonas Migula 1894 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Anzai Y, Kudo Y, Oyaizu H. The phylogeny of the genera Chryseomonas, Flavimonas, and Pseudomonas supports synonymy of these three genera. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1997; 47:249-251. 🇺🇸
