Notes:
- 🧕 Banerjee et al. (2025) assigned this genus to the family Phyllobacteriaceae Mergaert and Swings 2006. Publication: Banerjee S, Tancsics A, Wu Z, Stafioiu T, Gao J, Toth E, Baka E, Bending G, Schafer H. Foliimonas ilicis gen. nov., sp. nov., a carbon monoxide-oxidizing bacterium belonging to a novel genus of the family Phyllobacteriaceae isolated from leaves of Ilex aquifolium. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2025; 75:6953. 🇬🇧
- 😢 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: NCAIM: 1; LMG: 1.
