Emendations:
- Yoon et al. 2007 Yoon JH, Kang SJ, Lee SY, Oh TK. Phaeobacter daeponensis sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2007; 57:856-861. Euzeby JP. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 57, part 4 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2007; 57:1374-1375.
  Notes:
  - Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
  - The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.
