Emendations:
- Yoon et al. 2007 Yoon JH, Kang SJ, Lee MH, Oh TK. Description of Sulfitobacter donghicola sp. nov., isolated from seawater of the East Sea in Korea, transfer of Staleya guttiformis Labrenz et al. 2000 to the genus Sulfitobacter as Sulfitobacter guttiformis comb. nov. and emended description of the genus Sulfitobacter. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2007; 57:1788-1792. Euzeby JP. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 57, part 8 of the IJSEM.

  Notes:
  - Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 2 new species in the genus.
  - 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.
