Notes:
- 🧕 Brenner et al. (2005) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Garrity GM, Bell JA, Lilburn T. Family I. Rhodobacteraceae fam. nov. In: Brenner DJ, Krieg NR, Staley JT, Garrity GM (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd edn, vol. 2 (The Proteobacteria), part C (The Alpha-, Beta-, Delta-, and Epsilonproteobacteria), Springer, New York, 2005, p. 161. 🇺🇸
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Jannaschia Wagner-Döbler et al. 2003. Publication: Adachi M, Kanno T, Okamoto R, Shinozaki A, Fujikawa-Adachi K, Nishijima T. Jannaschia cystaugens sp. nov., an Alexandrium (Dinophyceae) cyst formation-promoting bacterium from Hiroshima Bay, Japan. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2004; 54:1687-1692. 🇯🇵
- 😡 This taxon name is a homonym of "Thalassobacter" Nogami et al. 1997.
- 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Macian et al. (2005). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
- ❗ Thalassobacter 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; CECT: 1; KACC: 1.
