  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Lechevaleria"; "Lechvalieria".
  • 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • ❗ Lechevalieria 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: DSM: 9; JCM: 9; NRRL: 7; CGMCC: 6; NBRC: 3; IFO: 3; VKM: 2; ATCC: 2; CIP: 2; BCRC: 1.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
