• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Arcobacter Vandamme et al. 1991. Publication: Donachie SP, Bowman JP, On SL, Alam M. Arcobacter halophilus sp. nov., the first obligate halophile in the genus Arcobacter. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:1271-1277. 🇺🇸
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Malacobacter Pérez-Cataluña et al. 2019. Publication: Perez-Cataluna A, Salas-Masso N, Dieguez AL, Balboa S, Lema A, Romalde JL, Figueras MJ. Revisiting the Taxonomy of the Genus Arcobacter: Getting Order From the Chaos.

  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Perez-Cataluna et al. (2018). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • ❗ Malaciobacter 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: DSM: 5; LMG: 4; CECT: 3; JCM: 2; CGMCC: 1; KCCM: 1; ATCC: 1; CIP: 1.
  • 🧍 The dissection of Arcobacter was opposed by On et al. (2020). Publication: On SLW, Miller WG, Biggs PJ, Cornelius AJ, Vandamme P.
