- ❗ Roseibacterium 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: JCM: 2; KCCM: 1; DSM: 1; CGMCC: 1; NBRC: 1; CIP: 1.
