• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Xylanimonas Rivas et al. 2003. Publication: Heo J, Cho H, Hamada M, Kim JS, Hong SB, Kim SJ, Kwon SW. Xylanimonas allomyrinae sp. nov. isolated from the gut of larva of Allomyrina dichotoma, reclassification of Xylanibacterium ulmi as Xylanimonas ulmi comb. nov. and Xylanimicrobium pachnodae as Xylanimonas pachnodae comb. nov., and emendation of the genus Xylanimonas. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:1924-1930.
  • ❗ Xylanimicrobium 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 0.04767 (N = 7).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 1; NCCB: 1; JCM: 1.
  • 🧍 The etymology given by Stackebrandt and Schumann 2004 is the following: N.L. neut. n. xylan (sic), xylan a polysaccharide; Gr. adj. mikros, small; Gr. masc. n. bios, life; N.L. neut. n. Xylanimicrobium, xylan-hydrolysing microbe. However, according to Rule 65, the correct name should be Xylanimicrobius and this name should be in the masculine gender. Consequently, the etymology provided above (see Etymology) has been changed in order to have a name in the neuter gender.
