• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Pseudomonas Migula 1894 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Manaia CM, Moore ER. Pseudomonas thermotolerans sp. nov., a thermotolerant species of the genus Pseudomonas sensu stricto. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2002; 52:2203-2209. 🇵🇹
  • ❗ Zestomonas 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 0.04716 (N = 3).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: KCTC: 2; DSM: 2; JCM: 1; LMG: 1; CGMCC: 1; VTT: 1; CIP: 1; CCM: 1.
