    Notes:
    • ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.

• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Thermoanaerobacter Wiegel and Ljungdahl 1982. Publication: Rainey FA, Stackebrandt E. Transfer of the type species of the genus Thermobacteroides to the genus Thermoanaerobacter as Thermoanaerobacter acetoethylicus (Ben-Bassat and Zeikus 1981) comb. nov., description of Coprothermobacter gen. nov., and reclassification of Thermobacteroides proteolyticus as Coprothermobacter proteolyticus (Ollivier et al. 1985) comb. nov.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Mobacteroides"; "Tbermobacteroides"; "Themobacteroides"; "Thennobacteroides"; "Therinobacteroides"; "Yhermobacteroides".
  • ❗ Thermobacteroides 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: 3; ATCC: 3; JCM: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "TMBR" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
