• Notes:
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Pusillimonas Kitahara et al. 2021. Publication: Lin SY, Hameed A, Tsai CF, Tang YS, Young CC. Pusillimonas faecipullorum sp. nov., isolated from the poultry manure. Arch Microbiol 2022; 204:256.
  • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: BCRC: 1; JCM: 1.
  • 🧍 The distinct name Allopusillimonas from the same publication has a similar spelling. — 🧍 The distinct name Neopusillimonas from the same publication has a similar spelling.
