• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Acidobacterium Kishimoto et al. 1991. Publication: Myers MR, King GM. Isolation and characterization of Acidobacterium ailaaui sp. nov., a novel member of Acidobacteria subdivision 1, from a geothermally heated Hawaiian microbial mat. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2016; 66:5328-5335. 🇺🇸
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Pseudoacidobacterium".
  • 😢 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. 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. 🇬🇧
  • ❗ Pseudacidobacterium 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: KACC: 1; DSM: 1; LMG: 1; NBRC: 1.
  • 🧍 The distinct name Alloacidobacterium from the same publication has a similar spelling. — 🧍 The distinct name Paracidobacterium from the same publication has a similar spelling.
