• Notes:
  • 🧕 Joung et al. (2010) assigned this genus to the family Flavobacteriaceae Reichenbach 1992. Publication: Joung Y, Song J, Lee K, Oh HM, Joh K, Cho JC. Soonwooa buanensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from seawater. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2010; 60:2061-2065.
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Chryseobacterium Vandamme et al. 1994. Publication: Garcia-Lopez M, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Tindall BJ, Gronow S, Woyke T, Kyrpides NC, Hahnke RL, Goker M. Analysis of 1,000 Type-Strain Genomes Improves Taxonomic Classification of Bacteroidetes. Front Microbiol 2019; 10:2083.
  • 😢 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. 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? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281.
  • ❗ Soonwooa 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; KCTC: 2; JCM: 1; CECT: 1.
