  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Thioalcalovibrio"; "Thioalkalivi"; "Thiolalkalivibrio".
  • Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Sorokin et al. (2004). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.07849 (N = 3).
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 11; JCM: 3; NCCB: 3; CBS: 1.

  • The original spelling of the name, Thioalkalivibrio (sic)was corrected by the List Editor of the IJSEM to Thialkalivibrio (IJSEM 51:796). This correction was withdrawn following a decision of the Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes at the Xth International (IUMS) Congress of Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology 2002, Paris (See IJSEM 55:527, Session 2, Minute 13).

  • However, during the meeting of the Judicial Commission held during the Xth International (IUMS) Congress of Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology [2], H.G. Trüper proposed that the recommendations governing the use of the connecting vowel should be overruled by the usage in chemistry and physics. Consequently, in combined names, which include terms used in chemistry or physics the connecting vowel shall not be dropped when the following component starts with a vowel and when this may cause ambiguity or uncertainty in meaning [2]. The Judicial Commission unanimously agreed to this proposal [2] and the original spelling, Thioalkalivibrio, must be used. Publication: De Vos P, Trüper HG, Tindall BJ.
