Notes:
- 🧕 Göker (2022) assigned this genus to the family Paracoccaceae Liang et al. 2022. Publication: Goker M. Filling the gaps: missing taxon names at the ranks of class, order and family. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2022; 72:5638. 🇩🇪
- 🧕 Wang et al. (2021) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Wang YW, Ren WT, Xu YY, Zhang XQ. Muriiphilus fusiformis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel non-marine bacterium belonging to the Roseobacter group, and reclassification of Maritimibacter lacisalsi (Zhong et al. 2015) as Muriicola lacisalsi gen. nov., comb. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:4859. 🇨🇳
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Maritimibacter Lee et al. 2007. Publication: Zhang DF, He W, Shao Z, Ahmed I, Zhang Y, Li WJ, Zhao Z. Phylotaxonomic assessment based on four core gene sets and proposal of a genus definition among the families Paracoccaceae and Roseobacteraceae. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:6156. 🇨🇳
- ❗ Muriiphilus 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: CGMCC: 1; KCTC: 1.
