  • Notes:
    • 🧒 Dodsworth et al. (2013) assigned the genus "Candidatus Caldatribacterium" Dodsworth et al. 2013 to this phylum. Publication: Dodsworth JA, Blainey PC, Murugapiran SK, Swingley WD, Ross CA, Tringe SG, Chain PS, Scholz MB, Lo CC, Raymond J, et al. Single-cell and metagenomic analyses indicate a fermentative and saccharolytic lifestyle for members of the OP9 lineage. Nat Commun 2013; 4:1854. 🇺🇸
    • 🧒 Murray et al. (2020) assigned the family "Candidatus Caldatribacteriaceae" Murray et al. 2020 to this phylum.

    • 🚃 The type genus of this phylum has alternatively been placed in the phylum "Candidatus Atribacteria" Dodsworth et al. 2013. Publication: Rinke C, Schwientek P, Sczyrba A, Ivanova NN, Anderson IJ, Cheng JF, Darling A, Malfatti S, Swan BK, Gies EA, et al.

    • 🚃 The type genus of this phylum has alternatively been placed in the phylum "Candidatus Caldatribacteriota" Hahn et al. 2020. Publication: Hahn CJ, Laso-Perez R, Vulcano F, Vaziourakis KM, Stokke R, Steen IH, Teske A, Boetius A, Liebeke M, Amann R, et al.

    • ❗ "Candidatus Atribacterota" is the pro-correct name instead if this phylum is regarded as a separate phylum (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another phylum whose name is validly published and legitimate or pro-validly published and pro-legitimate and not rejected and has priority or pro-priority).
    • 🧍 The formation of this name was discussed in Judicial Opinion 129. Publication: Arahal et al. Judicial Opinion No. 129. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2024; 74:6064.
