• Notes:
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Clostridium Prazmowski 1880 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Oren A.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Spomhalobacter"; "Sporohatobacter".
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Oren et al. (1987). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 3; ATCC: 2; JCM: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "SOHB" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
