Notes:
- 🧕 Suresh et al. (2020) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Suresh G, Lodha TD, Indu B, Sasikala C, Ramana CV. Corrigendum: Taxogenomics Resolves Conflict in the Genus Rhodobacter: A Two and Half Decades Pending Thought to Reclassify the Genus Rhodobacter. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:1111. 🇮🇳
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Cereibacter Suresh et al. 2015. 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. 🇩🇪
- 💁 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 = 3).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 7; IFO: 3; CIP: 3; CCUG: 3; DSM: 3; LMG: 3; NBRC: 3; KCTC: 2; MTCC: 2; ATCC: 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.
