  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Alcanivorax Yakimov et al. 1998. Publication: Fernandez-Martinez J, Pujalte MJ, Garcia-Martinez J, Mata M, Garay E, Rodriguez-Valeral F. Description of Alcanivorax venustensis sp. nov. and reclassification of Fundibacter jadensis DSM 1 21 78T (Bruns and Berthe-Corti 1999) as Alcanivorax jadensis comb. nov., members of the emended genus Alcanivorax.

  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Undibacte".
  • The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • Fundibacter is the correct name 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: CECT: 1; DSM: 1; ATCC: 1.
