Notes:
-
🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Olivibacter Ntougias et al. 2007.
Publication:
Siddiqi MZ, Liu Q, Lee SY, Choi KD, Im WT. Olivibacter ginsenosidimutans sp nov., with ginsenoside converting activity isolated from compost, and reclassification of Pseudosphingobacterium domesticum as Olivibacter domesticus comb. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2018; 68:2509-2514. 🇰🇷
- ❗ Pseudosphingobacterium 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: CCUG: 1; DSM: 1; LMG: 1; CIP: 1.
