• Notes:
  • 🧕 Pheng et al. (2017) assigned this genus to the family Comamonadaceae Willems et al. 1991. Publication: Pheng S, Lee JJ, Eom MK, Lee KH, Kim SG. Paucibacter oligotrophus sp. nov., isolated from fresh water, and emended description of the genus Paucibacter. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:2231-2235.
  • 🧕 Yilmaz et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the order Burkholderiales Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Yilmaz P, Parfrey LW, Yarza P, Gerken J, Pruesse E, Quast C, Schweer T, Peplies J, Ludwig W, Glöckner FO. The SILVA and “all-species living tree project (LTP)” taxonomic frameworks.

  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Roseateles Suyama et al. 1999. Publication: Liu Y, Du J, Pei T, Du H, Feng GD, Zhu H. Genome-based taxonomic classification of the closest-to-Comamonadaceae group supports a new family Sphaerotilaceae fam. nov. and taxonomic revisions. Syst Appl Microbiol 2022; 45:126352.
  • ❗ Paucibacter 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: KCCM: 2; JCM: 1; CICC: 1; DSM: 1; NBRC: 1; KCTC: 1.
