🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Sinirohdobacter".
❗ Sinirhodobacter 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: KCTC: 3; CCTCC: 2; KACC: 2; CGMCC: 1; CFCC: 1; LMG: 1.
