• Notes:
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Acholeplasma Edward and Freundt 1970 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Rose DL, Tully JG, Del Giudice RA. Acholeplasma morum, a new non-sterol-requiring species. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1980; 30:647-654.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Paracholepsma".
  • Paracholeplasma is the correct name 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: ATCC: 3; NCTC: 1; CIP: 1.
  • The distinct name Alteracholeplasma 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.
