Notes:
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Acidovorax Willems et al. 1990. Publication: Heylen K, Lebbe L, De Vos P. Acidovorax caeni sp. nov., a denitrifying species with genetically diverse isolates from activated sludge. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2008; 58:73-77. 🇧🇪
- ❗ Paenacidovorax 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 0.10007 (N = 7).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 1; KACC: 1; KEMB: 1; NBRC: 1; LMG: 1.
- 🧍 The distinct name Paracidovorax from the same publication has a similar spelling. Publication: Angell RC, Freund GE, Willett P. Automatic spelling correction using a trigram similarity measure. Information Processing and Management 1983; 19:255-261.
