Notes:
🧕 Breider et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006.Publication:
Breider S, Scheuner C, Schumann P, Fiebig A, Petersen J, Pradella S, Klenk HP, Brinkhoff T, Goker M. Genome-scale data suggest reclassifications in the Leisingera-Phaeobacter cluster including proposals for Sedimentitalea gen. nov. and Pseudophaeobacter gen. nov. Front Microbiol 2014; 5:416. 🇩🇪
🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Phaeobacter Martens et al. 2006.Publication:
Wirth JS, Whitman WB. Phylogenomic analyses of a clade within the roseobacter group suggest taxonomic reassignments of species of the genera Aestuariivita, Citreicella, Loktanella, Nautella, Pelagibaca, Ruegeria, Thalassobius, Thiobacimonas and Tropicibacter, and the proposal of six novel genera. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2018; 68:2393-2411. 🇺🇸
🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Natuella".
❗ Nautella 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: CECT: 1; DSM: 1; LMG: 1; CCUG: 1.
