- Huang et al. 2018 Huang MM, Guo LL, Wu YH, Lai QL, Shao ZZ, Wang CS, Wu M, Xu XW. Pseudooceanicola lipolyticus sp. nov., a marine alphaproteobacterium, reclassification of Oceanicola flagellatus as Pseudooceanicola flagellatus comb. nov. and emended description of the genus Pseudooceanicola.

  Notes:
  - ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 2 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. The usage of the term "coherent taxon" (or equivalent) is cautioned against. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.
