Notes:
- 🧕 Ma et al. (2022) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Ma T, Xue H, Piao C, Liu C, Yang M, Bian D, Li Y. Reclassification of 11 Members of the Family Rhodobacteraceae at Genus and Species Levels and Proposal of Pseudogemmobacter hezensis sp. nov. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:849695. 🇨🇳
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Rhodobacter Imhoff et al. 1984. Publication: Sheu C, Li ZH, Sheu SY, Yang CC, Chen WM. Tabrizicola oligotrophica sp. nov. and Rhodobacter tardus sp. nov., two new species of bacteria belonging to the family Rhodobacteraceae. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:6266-6283. 🇹🇼
- ❗ Stagnihabitans 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: LMG: 2; CCUG: 1; BCRC: 1.
