• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Acholeplasma Edward and Freundt 1970 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Hill AC, Polak-Vogelzang AA, Angulo AF. Acholeplasma multilocale sp. nov., isolated from a horse and a rabbit. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1992; 42:513-517.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Tullyplasma".
  • ❗ Tullyiplasma 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: ATCC: 4; NCTC: 1; DSM: 1.
