• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Sphingomonas Yabuuchi et al. 1990. Publication: Busse HJ, Hauser E, Kampfer P. Description of two novel species, Sphingomonas abaci sp. nov. and Sphingomonas panni sp. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:2565-2569. 🇦🇹
  • ❗ Novistakelama 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: DSM: 3; CIP: 2; ATCC: 1; CCUG: 1; LMG: 1; KCTC: 1.
