  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Reichenbachiella Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005. Publication: Nedashkovskaya OI, Kim SB, Suzuki M, Shevchenko LS, Lee MS, Lee KH, Park MS, Frolova GM, Oh HW, Bae KS, et al. Pontibacter actiniarum gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the phylum 'Bacteroidetes', and proposal of Reichenbachiella gen. nov. as a replacement for the illegitimate prokaryotic generic name Reichenbachia Nedashkovskaya et al. 2003.

  • 😢 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?

  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 1; IFO: 1; NBRC: 1; DSM: 1; KMM: 1.
  • 🧍 Later homonym of the plant genus Reichenbachia Sprengel 1823 and the insect genus Reichenbachia Leach 1826.

Pontibacter actiniarum gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the phylum 'Bacteroidetes', and proposal of Reichenbachiella gen. nov. as a replacement for the illegitimate prokaryotic generic name Reichenbachia Nedashkovskaya et al. 2003.

  • 🧍 The names Reichenbachia is illegitimate because Reichenbachia Nedashkovskaya et al. 2003 is a later homonym of Reichenbachia Sprengel 1823 (a plant belonging to the family Nyctaginaceae) and a later homonym of Reichenbachia Leach 1826 (an insect belonging to the family Staphylinidae). Consequently, a new genus designation Reichenbachiella has been proposed by Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005.
