- ❗ Weizmannia 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.03476 (N = 8).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 4; KCTC: 3; JCM: 3; NBRC: 2; NCCB: 2; ATCC: 1; CECT: 1; NCIMB: 1; LMG: 1; NRRL: 1.
