• Notes:
  • 🧕 Xie and Yokota (2005) assigned this genus to the family Comamonadaceae Willems et al. 1991. Publication: Xie CH, Yokota A. Reclassification of Alcaligenes latus strains IAM 12599T and IAM 12664 and Pseudomonas saccharophila as Azohydromonas lata gen. nov., comb. nov., Azohydromonas australica sp. nov. and Pelomonas saccharophila gen. nov., comb. nov., respectively. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:2419-2425.
  • 🚂 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.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Pelomomas"; "Pelomons"; "Pleomonas".
  • ❗ Pelomonas 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: CCUG: 3; CECT: 2; JCM: 2; CFBP: 1; NCCB: 1; ATCC: 1; DSM: 1; VKM: 1; CIP: 1; NBRC: 1.
