• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Halomonas Vreeland et al. 1980. Publication: Mellado E, Moore ER, Nieto JJ, Ventosa A. Phylogenetic inferences and taxonomic consequences of 16S ribosomal DNA sequence comparison of Chromohalobacter marismortui, Volcaniella eurihalina, and Deleya salina and reclassification of V. eurihalina as Halomonas eurihalina comb. nov. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1995; 45:712-716.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Volcaniellawas"; "Volcanlella".
  • ❗ Volcaniella 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: 1; CIP: 1; DSM: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "VLCN" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
