• Notes:
  • 🧕 Maekinen et al. (2009) assigned this genus to the family Thermoanaerobacteraceae Wiegel 2010. Publication: Makinen AE, Kaksonen AH, Puhakka JA.

  • 🧕 Yilmaz et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the order Thermoanaerobacterales Wiegel 2010. Publication: Yilmaz P, Parfrey LW, Yarza P, Gerken J, Pruesse E, Quast C, Schweer T, Peplies J, Ludwig W, Glöckner FO. The SILVA and “all-species living tree project (LTP)” taxonomic frameworks.

  • 😢 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. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?
