Notes:
- 🧕 Choi et al. (2007) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Choi DH, Cho JC, Lanoil BD, Giovannoni SJ, Cho BC. Maribius salinus gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from a solar saltern and Maribius pelagius sp. nov., cultured from the Sargasso Sea, belonging to the Roseobacter clade. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2007; 57:270-275. 🇰🇷
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Palleronia Martínez-Checa et al. 2005. Publication: Barnier C, Clerissi C, Lami R, Intertaglia L, Lebaron P, Grimaud R, Urios L. Description of Palleronia rufa sp. nov., a biofilm-forming and AHL-producing Rhodobacteraceae, reclassification of Hwanghaeicola aestuarii as Palleronia aestuarii comb. nov., Maribius pontilimi as Palleronia pontilimi comb. nov., Maribius salinus as Palleronia salina comb. nov., Maribius pelagius as Palleronia pelagia comb. nov. and emended description of the genus Palleronia. Syst Appl Microbiol 2020; 43:126018. 🇫🇷
- ❗ Maribius 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: 3; KCCM: 2; JCM: 2; CECT: 2; CIP: 1; KCTC: 1.
