• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Sphingomonas Yabuuchi et al. 1990. Publication: Zhu D, Niu Y, Liu D, Wang G, Zheng S. Sphingomonas gilva sp. nov., isolated from mountain soil. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2019; 69:3472-3477. 🇨🇳
  • ❗ Humisphingomonas 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: CCTCC: 1; KCTC: 1.
  • 🧍 The distinct name Alterisphingomonas from the same publication has a similar spelling. — 🧍 The distinct name Flavisphingomonas from the same publication has a similar spelling. — 🧍 The distinct name Solisphingomonas from the same publication has a similar spelling.
