  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: LMG: 5; JCM: 3; KCTC: 3; CECT: 2; DSM: 2; NBRC: 1; CAIM: 1; CIP: 1; MTCC: 1; NCTC: 1.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1". — 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.
  • 🧍 Grimontia Thompson et al. 2003 would need to be regarded as not validly published if the type species would need to be regarded as not validly published. See there for details. — The genus name Grimontia is a N.L. fem. n. in the nominative case, not a N.L. n. in the genitive case as cited by Thompson et al. 2003.
