    • 😢 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

• Notes:
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Thiomicrospira Kuenen and Veldkamp 1972 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Brinkhoff T, Muyzer G, Wirsen CO, Kuever J. Thiomicrospira kuenenii sp. nov. and Thiomicrospira frisia sp. nov., two mesophilic obligately chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria isolated from an intertidal mud flat.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Thiomicrohabdus".
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Brinkhoff et al. (1999), Boden et al. (2017). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
