• Notes:
  • 🧕 Kim et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the family Bradyrhizobiaceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Kim KK, Lee KC, Eom MK, Kim JS, Kim DS, Ko SH, Kim BH, Lee JS. Variibacter gotjawalensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from soil of a lava forest. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2014; 105:915-924.
  • 😢 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?
