  • Notes:
    • 🧕 Li et al. (2024) assigned this genus to the family Anaerobacillaceae Chuvochina et al. 2024. Publication: Li Y, Zhang D, Bo D, Peng D, Sun M, Zheng J. A taxonomic note on the order Caryophanales: description of 12 novel families and emended description of 21 families. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6539. 🇨🇳
    • 😢 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. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281. 🇬🇧
    • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: NCIMB: 1; JCM: 1.
