Notes:
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Microbacterium Orla-Jensen 1919 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Young CC, Busse HJ, Langer S, Chu JN, Schumann P, Arun AB, Shen FT, Rekha PD, Kampfer P. Microbacterium agarici sp. nov., Microbacterium humi sp. nov. and Microbacterium pseudoresistens sp. nov., isolated from the base of the mushroom Agaricus blazei. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:854-860. 🇩🇪
- ❗ Paramicrobacterium 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 0.08254 (N = 8).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: KACC: 3; DSM: 2; GDMCC: 2; CCM: 2; CGMCC: 2; JCM: 1.
