• Notes:
  • 🧕 Xi et al. (2013) assigned this genus to the family Rhodospirillaceae Pfennig and Trüper 1971 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Xi XD, Dong WL, Zhang J, Huang Y, Cui ZL. Taonella mepensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Rhodospirillaceae isolated from activated sludge. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2013; 63:2472-2476.
  • 😢 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. 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.
