🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Sinorhodobacter Yang et al. 2018.
Publication:
Yang G, Chen M, Zhou S, Liu Z, Yuan Y. Sinorhodobacter ferrireducens gen. nov., sp. nov., a non-phototrophic iron-reducing bacterium closely related to phototrophic Rhodobacter species. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2013; 104:715-724.
- 🙄 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; KACC: 2; CCTCC: 2; CFCC: 1; CGMCC: 1; LMG: 1.
