- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Gramellai".
-
🧔 This taxon was discussed in a meeting of a Taxonomic Subcommittee of the ICSP.
Publication:

- 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Hameed et al. (2014), Park et al. (2020). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
- 😢 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: KCTC: 12; NBRC: 9; JCM: 9; MCCC: 4; KACC: 4; DSM: 4; LMG: 3; CGMCC: 2; BCRC: 2; KMM: 2.

🧍 Later homonym of Gramella Kozur 1971, a genus of fossil ostracods. The genus name Gramella is a nominative (not a genitive) and does not mean "of Gram" as cited in the paper by Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005.
