• Notes:
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Zhihengliuella Zhang et al. 2007. Publication: Baik KS, Lim CH, Park SC, Choe HN, Kim HJ, Kim D, Lee KH, Seong CN. Zhihengliuella aestuarii sp. nov., isolated from tidal flat sediment. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:1671-1676.
  • 😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. 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: JCM: 1; DSM: 1; MCC: 1; KCTC: 1.
