- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Rhodobac"; "Rodobaca".
- ❗ Rhodobaca 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: DSM: 2; ATCC: 1; GDMCC: 1; VKM: 1.
