- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Psudobacter".
- 😢 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. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M.

- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: KACC: 1; DSM: 1.
