• Notes:
  • Boone et al. (2001) assigned this genus to the family "Acidaminococcaceae". Publication: Garrity GM, Holt JG. The Road Map to the Manual. In: Boone DR, Castenholz RW, Garrity GM (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, second edition, vol. 1 (The Archaea and the deeply branching and phototrophic Bacteria), Springer-Verlag, New York, 2001, p. 119-166.
  • De Vos et al. (2009) assigned this genus to the family Veillonellaceae Rogosa 1971 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Ludwig W, Schleifer K-H, Whitman WB. Class I. Bacilli class nov. In: De Vos P, Garrity GM, Jones D, Krieg NR, Ludwig W, Rainey FA, K.-H. S, Whitman WB (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd edn, vol. 3 (The Firmicutes), Springer, New York, 2009, p. 19-20.
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Propionispira Schink et al. 1983. Publication: Ueki A, Watanabe M, Ohtaki Y, Kaku N, Ueki K. Description of Propionispira arcuata sp. nov., isolated from a methanogenic reactor of cattle waste, reclassification of Zymophilus raffinosivorans and Zymophilus paucivorans as Propionispira raffinosivorans comb. nov. and Propionispira paucivorans comb. nov. and emended description of the genus Propionispira. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:3571-3577.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Zymophifus"; "Zymophitus"; "Zymopllilus"; "Zymphilus"; "Zyrnophilus"; "Zysophilus".
  • Zymophilus is the correct name 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: 2; DSM: 2.
  • Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "ZMPH" 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.
