• Notes:
  • 🧕 Gomila et al. (2010) assigned this genus to the family Comamonadaceae Willems et al. 1991. Publication: Gomila M, Pinhassi J, Falsen E, Moore ER, Lalucat J. Kinneretia asaccharophila gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from a freshwater lake, a member of the Rubrivivax branch of the family Comamonadaceae. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:809-814.
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Roseateles Suyama et al. 1999. Publication: Liu Y, Du J, Pei T, Du H, Feng GD, Zhu H. Genome-based taxonomic classification of the closest-to-Comamonadaceae group supports a new family Sphaerotilaceae fam. nov. and taxonomic revisions. Syst Appl Microbiol 2022; 45:126352.
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Woo et al. (2024). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • ❗ Kinneretia 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: KACC: 6; TBRC: 5; KCCM: 2; KCTC: 1; DSM: 1; JCM: 1; CICC: 1; CCUG: 1; CECT: 1; NBRC: 1.
