• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Nitrosospira Winogradsky and Winogradsky 1933 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Head IM, Hiorns WD, Embley TM, McCarthy AJ, Saunders JR. The phylogeny of autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria as determined by analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences. J Gen Microbiol 1993; 139:1147-1153.
  • ❗ Nitrosolobus 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.06146 (N = 5).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: ATCC: 1; DSM: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "NOLB" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
