• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Lysobacter Christensen and Cook 1978 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Yoon J. Polyphasic Characterization of Lysobacter maris sp. nov., a Bacterium Isolated from Seawater. Curr Microbiol 2016; 72:282-287. 🇰🇷
  • ❗ Marilutibacter 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: KACC: 3; KCTC: 3; GDMCC: 1; NBRC: 1; JCM: 1; LMG: 1; CCTCC: 1; CGMCC: 1.
