• Notes:
  • 🧕 Yilmaz et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the family Halobacteriaceae Gibbons 1974 (Approved Lists 1980).

  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Natronobacterium Tindall et al. 1984. Publication: Dong XY, Mao YL, Zhang QK, Zhu LR, Hou J, Cui HL. Genome‑based classification of the family Natrialbaceae and description of four novel halophilic archaea from three saline lakes and a saline-alkaline land. Extremophiles 2024; 28:47. 🇨🇳
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Nalobiforma".
  • ❗ Halobiforma 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).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 3; CGMCC: 2; DSM: 1.
