- ❗ "Candidatus Caldatribacteriota" 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).
- 🧍 While the authors did not explicitly propose this taxon name, they did not provide a proper citation of the authority of the name either.
