- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Lontibacillus".
- 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Oh et al. (2020), Lee et al. (2008), Pakdeeto et al. (2007). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
- 😢 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. The usage of the term "coherent taxon" (or equivalent) is cautioned against. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?
