  • Bibi et al. 2011 Bibi F, Chung EJ, Yoon HS, Song GC, Jeon CO, Chung YR. Haloferula luteola sp. nov., an endophytic bacterium isolated from the root of a halophyte, Rosa rugosa, and emended description of the genus Haloferula. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:1837-1841. 🇰🇷 Euzeby JP. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 61, part 8 of the IJSEM.

    Notes:
    • ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
    • 😢 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. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.
