🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Microcella Tiago et al. 2005.
Publication:
Xie F, Pei S, Huang X, Wang L, Kou J, Zhang G. Microcella flavibacter sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment, and reclassification of Chryseoglobus frigidaquae, Chryseoglobus indicus, and Yonghaparkia alkaliphila as Microcella frigidaquae comb. nov., Microcella indica nom. nov., and Microcella alkalica nom. nov. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2021; 114:2133-2145. 🇨🇳
- 😢 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. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281. 🇬🇧
- ❗ Yonghaparkia 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: JCM: 1; CIP: 1; DSM: 1; KCTC: 1.
