  • Notes:
    • 🧕 Jin et al. (2011) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Jin HM, Lee HJ, Kim JM, Park MS, Lee K, Jeon CO. Litorimicrobium taeanense gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from a sandy beach. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:1392-1396. 🇰🇷
    • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Thalassobius Arahal et al. 2005. Publication: Hordt A, Lopez MG, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Schleuning M, Weinhold LM, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Kyrpides NC, Woyke T, Goker M. Analysis of 1,000+ Type-Strain Genomes Substantially Improves Taxonomic Classification of Alphaproteobacteria. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:468. 🇩🇪
    • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Thalassovita Deshmukh and Oren 2023. Publication: Deshmukh UB, Oren A. Proposal of Thalassovita gen. nov. and Alloyangia gen. nov. as replacement names for the illegitimate prokaryotic generic names Thalassobius and Yangia, respectively. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:6025. 🇮🇱
    • 😢 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. 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 BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: KACC: 1; DSM: 1.
