  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Novosphingobium Takeuchi et al. 2001. Publication: Baek SH, Lim JH, Jin L, Lee HG, Lee ST. Novosphingobium sediminicola sp. nov. isolated from freshwater sediment. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:2464-2468. 🇰🇷
  • ❗ Flavinovosphingobium 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).
