Notes:
-
🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Galbibacter Khan et al. 2007.
Publication:
Wei L, Wang J, Liu X, Lai Q, Li G, Fu X, Li G, Shao Z, Dong C. Galbibacter pacificus sp. nov., isolated from surface seawater of the western Pacific Ocean and transfer of Joostella marina to the genus Galbibacter as Galbibacter orientalis nom. nov. and emended description of the genus Galbibacter. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:6078.
- 😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.04799 (N = 5).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: KCTC: 2; CGMCC: 1; NCAIM: 1; DSM: 1.
