- 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Girija et al. (2010), Suresh et al. (2020). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
- ❗ Luteovulum 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.01371 (N = 2).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 7; NBRC: 3; DSM: 3; LMG: 3; IFO: 3; CIP: 3; CCUG: 3; MTCC: 2; KCTC: 2; CECT: 1.

🧍 See also Suresh et al. (2019). – Instead of proposing a new genus, the Rhodobacter species that formed the sister group of Cereibacter in the phylogenomic analysis could as well be included in Cereibacter, which is a more conservative solution.
