• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Vibrio Pacini 1854 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Baumann P, Baumann L, Bang SS, Woolkalis MJ. Reevaluation of the taxonomy of Vibrio, Beneckea, and Photobacterium: abolition of the genus Beneckea. Curr. Microbiol. 1980; 4:127-132. 🇺🇸
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Lucibaclerium".
  • ❗ Lucibacterium 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: NBRC: 1; ATCC: 1; NCCB: 1; LMG: 1; NCTC: 1; CIP: 1; CAIM: 1; CCUG: 1; IFO: 1; DSM: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "LUBT" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
