    • ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.

• Notes:
  • 🧕 Chuvochina et al. (2023) assigned this genus to the family Marinithermaceae Chuvochina et al. 2024. Publication: Chuvochina M, Mussig AJ, Chaumeil PA, Skarshewski A, Rinke C, Parks DH, Hugenholtz P. Proposal of names for 329 higher rank taxa defined in the Genome Taxonomy Database under two prokaryotic codes. FEMS Microbiol Lett 2023; 0:0.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Oceanothermus".
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 2; NBRC: 2; VKM: 1.
  • 🧍 A wrong etymology is given in the paper by Miroshnichenko et al. 2003: L. n. oceanus, the ocean; Gr. fem. n. thermê, heat; N.L. masc. (sic) n. Oceanithermus, warmth-loving organisms living in the ocean. With such an etymology, the correct name should be Oceanotherma (N.L. fem. n.). Publication: Euzeby JP.
